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 le tit completely air dry
before use.
