The two most popular types of electric shavers are foil-head and rotary-head. A foil-head shaver moves rows of blades back and forth using an oscillator. A rotary-head shaver's motor rotates three blades in unison, each with its own gear, blade, and screen.
Service a foil-head shaver:
- Unplug the appliance. Remove the head assembly held on by screws, clips, or a pressure button.
- Remove the screen from the head and carefully clean it. If the screen is damaged or corroded, replace it.
- Remove the blade assembly from the oscillator assembly. Inspect and clean the blade assembly with canned air.
If your foil-head shaver requires lubrication, follow the manufacturer's instructions for doing so.
Service a rotary-head shaver:
- Unplug the appliance. Remove the head assembly from the housing.
- Remove the shaver head from the blade assembly and place the assembly on a flat surface.
- Remove the screens and the blade unit. Clean the screens with a small brush and inspect the blades. If the screen is damaged or corroded, replace it.
- If your rotary-head shaver requires lubrication, follow the manufacturer's instructions for doing so.
