Default Broken Braun Shaver


wrote in message
oups.com...

Hello

I have a mdium-old rechargeable Braun shaver which stopped working. The
oddity is that it charges fine and also it runs fine if I take the foil
off. If I put
the foil back on, it's inert. I looked over the foil/screen and there
is no damage
apparent. Any idea? Thanks.


Is this a model where the foil assembly also has a trimmer? If so, the
trimmer could be seized, or perhaps its linkage isn't engaging properly and
jamming the motor.

If not, it could be a weak motor. How easy is it to stop the motor by
applying resistance to the blades?
