How to Fix Braun Razor Not Charging

These are the methods you should try first and can be helpful to fix your Braun razor.

Quick Fixes

Change a faulty charging cable
Ensure the power socket is not faulty
Plug it into the charger for 3 hours and charge it fully
Change the charging cradle if it is faulty
Replace its dead batteries
Still not working; clean it
Contact the manufacturers

So, let’s take a closer look at its possible solutions:

Faulty Charging Cable

Before doing anything, you should check your charging cable. If the power cable is defective or not providing enough power to your razor, it can be the reason why it is not charging. So, you should ensure the power cable is not faulty.

If you have a DMM (digital multimeter), use it to check that the power cable is providing electricity to charge your razor. Another method is to plug a new device with this cable and check that your power cable is faulty if the new device is not charging.

If you are sure the charging cable is not working, you should buy a new original cable. And always use the original Braun charging cable. Because a local cable can damage its battery.

Defective Power Socket

On the other hand, you should check your power socket because it can also be faulty. So, if the power socket is not providing electricity, no doubt the razor will not charge. If the power socket is defective, you should plug your device into another socket that is working correctly. After plugging it into a new power socket, check to ensure it is charging.

To check the wall socket, you can use a digital multimeter. If you don’t have access to the DMM, you can do a simple method. You should take a new device and plug it into this socket. If the new device is not charging, your power socket is faulty and should be fixed.

Charge Fully

If you have purchased a new Braun razor or you have not used it for several months, you should charge it fully before using it. Because the new device can not have charged its battery, plugging it into the charger for 3 hours can fix this problem.

And if the razor was not used for several months, its battery might be dead/ drained. So, in this situation, you should plug it into the charger for 3 to 4 hours and don’t turn it on while charging.

After 4 hours, unplug it from the charger and turn it on to test that it is fully charged. You have to go on the next steps if it is still not charged.

Not Positioned Correctly & Faulty Cradle

A common reason your Braun razor is not charging can be incorrectly positioned on the charging cradle. If the charging contacts of the razor are not connected to the pins in the charging cradle, electricity can not pass through.

So, you should unplug it from the charging and then place it correctly into the cradle. If the razor is correctly placed on charging, an LED light will illuminate it. This LED indicates that the razor is now charging.

Check Batteries

If you have continuously charged its battery for 3 hours, it is still not charged or working usually. You should look at its battery and ensure it is not defective. This problem can be due to dead batteries, and that’s why no method from above has worked.

To check the battery status, you should plug it into the charger and turn it on from the power button. Check that it usually works, and then check it after unplugging it from the charger. If it is not working, there are two reasons.

Battery Drained

Battery Dead

For the fully drained battery, you should plug it into charging. And if the battery is not charging after 3 hours of charging, you should replace its battery.

Unclean Razor

While you have tried great effort and then your Braun razor is still not working, you should ensure it is thoroughly cleaned. Because if it is not cleaned, dirt or hair particles can accumulate on the blades. This dirt causes the blades to stop moving, which is why the razor is not working.

You can use a clean brush to remove dirt and hair from the inside of the blades. However, you should clean it after every single use.

Contact Manufacturers

After all charging issue with your Braun razor is still not fixed, so you should look at its hardware. If you find such damage or charging pins defects. You should go to the nearest electric repair workshop.

You can also contact Razor customer support, and they can help to fix it. For a few products, they offer 2 years warranty, so you should check if your razor is under warranty; you can claim it by contacting the manufacturer.

Can you overcharge a Braun razor?

Can Braun’s razor be overcharged? No, your Braun razor can not be overcharged, because it supplies a charger that stops electricity when it is fully charged.
