Braun Series 9 travel lock problem 

Your Braun shaver locks up due to the following:

• A faulty Travel lock system 
• Water damage 
• Dirt and debris build-up 
• Poorly built tools. 

But, before troubleshooting your shaver, ensure you are past your warranty date. 

If you are on your warranty date, attempting to fix it could void you of a free replacement/ refund or service. 

First, always contact Braun and read the specific manual of your shaver and check for shaver specifics to make sure everything is intact before attempting to fix it. 

Also if you have a warranty always look to drop your shaver off at your nearest service drop-off point and get their team to solve it first. 

But if you want to give it a go yourself, the guide is below. Take a look 

Braun series 9 travel lock problem

If your shaver is currently acting like this:

Then you may have a travel lock problem. 

The travel lock is a feature that prevents the shaver from turning on accidentally when you’re traveling or storing it. 

It’s supposed to be activated by pressing and holding the on/off button for 3 seconds and deactivated by doing the same thing. 

That should get your shaver going if you were unaware of the feature, if not, read on. 

Another way to fix your shaver would be a sort of hard reset…

Run a couple of cleaning cycles in the docking station. Once all this is done. Press the power button for 5-8 seconds. 

The second your shaver buzzes back into life pug it into a wall to charge – This acts as another way to reset your shaver. 

This is a fix for mainly the Braun series 9. 

For other models that act as such:

Press the power button once so the red lock light error pops up, then hold the power button down for (5-9 seconds) , your shaver should then power up and now you’re ready to use it. 

Water Damage 

If the button pressing to unlock your shaver doesn’t work then it may be a situation where your shaver is internally water damaged. 

Though the shaver is marketed to be waterproof… It’s only up to an extent. If you unscrew your shaver/ detach the head , you may come to find the screws/ motor were rusted , all the interior plastics had leftover hair, and the battery has become humid. 

To attempt a water damage fix, you’ll want to put your shaver in a bag of rice , leave it to sit until moisture has been removed then come back take it out and see if you can work your shaver without the travel lock being randomly activated. 

In a situation like this, regardless if you’re past your warranty, you can contact Braun, and explain to them exactly what’s happened and seek a replacement/service as sometimes the product you got is just crap and you don’t have to stick by that. 

Braun series 9 lock problem

Other simple steps you should check to ensure your shave is in the best condition would be:

• Your shaver is not fully charged or has a low battery. This can affect the responsiveness of the button and the display . Try charging your shaver for at least an hour and then try to unlock it again.
• Your shaver is dirty or has debris stuck in the button or the display. This can interfere with the contact between the button and the circuit board. 

Try cleaning your shaver with a soft cloth and some alcohol or water. Make sure to dry it thoroughly before attempting to unlock it.

To avoid this problem in the future, here are some tips:

Only activate the travel lock when you need it , such as when you’re traveling or storing your shaver for a long time. Otherwise, leave it unlocked so you can use it anytime.

• Make sure to charge your shaver regularly and keep an eye on the battery indicator. Don’t let it run too low or die completely.

Keep your shaver clean and dry at all times. Use the Clean & Charge Station if you have one, or manually clean it with water or alcohol after every use.

• Store your shaver in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or moisture.

And your very last option should you wish to do… Would be to just hold the button a few seconds and give it a good old-fashioned knock/shake and see if that gives it back some life. 

Braun series 9 turns on by itself

Another common problem with the Braun Series 9 shavers is that they turn on by themselves randomly, even when they’re not in use or in contact with anything. 

This can be very annoying, as it drains the battery, makes noise, and poses a safety risk.

Also, it’s quite common as shown from these recent comments . 

The Braun series 9 power button fell off

There are a few possible reasons why this happens:

• The shaver is wet or has moisture inside it. This can cause a short circuit or a false signal that triggers the button. This can happen if you use your shaver in wet & dry mode, or if you don’t dry it properly after cleaning it.

 Try drying your shaver with a hair dryer or leaving it in a well-ventilated area for a few hours. You can also try removing the battery and putting it back in and charging it to “reset” your shaver. 

If your shaver is dirty or has debris stuck in the button or the display. This can also interfere with the contact between the button and the circuit board.

Try cleaning your shaver with a soft cloth and some alcohol or water. Make sure to dry it thoroughly before using it again.

If after all of this, nothing changes and your shaver still has issues, contact Braun as the problem is likely a faulty circuit board or button. 

There’s a possible scenario, where your shaver’s internal components are damaged or malfunctioning, and where at-home fixes can’t resolve the problem, their professional engineers may need to take a look. 

This is especially the case if your button keeps falling off as shown below: 

That is just poor product quality and no matter the “fix”, it will never be resolved as the product itself was not built right. 

If, this keeps happening with your Braun shaver, take a look at another brand below:

Tips for a perfect dry shave

• Always shave before washing your face.
• At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
• Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

MultiHeadLock switch (head lock)

To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the MultiHeadLock switch (3) down to lock the shaver head. The shaver head can be locked in five positions.

To change position, move the shaver head with your thumb and forefinger back or forth. It will automatically click into the next position.

Only models with Clean & Charge Station: For automatic cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station the head lock should be released.

To trim sideburns, moustache or beard press the release button (8) and slide the long hair trimmer (6) upwards.

• Activation: By pressing the on/off switch (4) for 3 seconds the shaver is locked. This is confirmed by a beep sound and the lock symbol in the display. Afterwards the display turns off.
• Deactivation: By pressing the on/off switch for 3 seconds the shaver is unlocked again.

Cleaning under running water

• Switch on the shaver (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues have been removed. You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver, press the release buttons (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and let it dry completely.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil (not included) on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette and the long hair trimmer.

The shaver should be cleaned after each foam usage.

Cleaning with a brush

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it!

The Foil & Cutter cassette can be attached either way. There is no impact on the shaving performance.

The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating, drying and storing your Braun shaver.

DANGER : FLAMMABLE. CONTENTS MAY CATCH FIRE. Do not smoke. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from flames such as pilot light, and any object that sparks such as electric motor. Keep locked up. KEEP Out OF REACH OF CHILDREN. CAUTION : MAY IRRITATE EYES. Do not get in eyes.

Installing the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. D)

• Press the lift button (13) at the rear side of the Clean&Charge Station to lift up the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (17) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
• Slide the cartridge from the rear side into the base of the station until it snaps into place.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
• Connect the station to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10) into the power socket (12).

Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. D)

Insert the shaver head with the front showing and released head lock into the cleaning station. Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap residue!

The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts (14) in the station. Push the shaver in the correct position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the station. Charging will start automatically.

Cleaning the shaver (see fig. D)

When the cleaning indicator 4 lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the Clean&Charge Station, as described above and press the start button (16).

The hygiene status will be analyzed and is shown by the cleaning program indicators (15c) in the Clean&Charge Station display.

If status light (15b) does not shine (Clean&Charge Station switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice. Otherwise cleaning will not start. For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning after each shave.

The cleaning process consists of several cycles, in which cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. Depending on the program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes, followed by an active drying phase of about 40 minutes, during which a fan is running.

Afterwards charging will resume, which is indicated in the shaver display. When the shaver is fully charged the display turns off.

Cleaning programs

Removing the shaver from the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. E)

Hold the Clean&Charge Station with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. F)

After having pressed the lift button (13) to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning solution.

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains alcohol or isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks. The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for the shaving system, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of the Clean&Charge Station. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.

Braun recommends changing your shaver’s Foil & Cutter cassette every 18 months to maintain your shaver’s maximum performance.

Available at your dealer or Braun Service Centres:

• Foil & Cutter cassette: 92S/92B
