My Philips Shaver is leaking
If you see water leaking from your Philips Shaver, there is no need to worry. Find out the possible
causes and solutions to this problem in our article.
There is some water inside your shaver
After cleaning your Philips Shaver or using it in the shower, some water may settle between its inner
body and the outer shell. This water seeps out by itself over time and it may seem like the shaver is
leaking.
However, please be assured that the inner body of your shaver is completely waterproof. This
means that the water cannot reach the machinery of your shaver. You can continue to use your
shaver without any trouble.
To avoid this issue, always shake off your shaver after washing it and let it completely air dry before
use.
My Philips Shaver is not working
If your Philips Shaver is not working or turning on, read below the possible causes and our
advice on how to solve them yourself.
Your Philips Shaver is not charged
If you have a rechargeable Philips Shaver, it is possible, that its battery has run out. We advise
you to charge your shaver and then try turning it on again. For details on how to charge your
shaver, please refer to the user manual.
If your Philips Shaver is not rechargeable then it should be plugged into a working electric
socket while in use.
