Troubleshooting

If you’re experiencing issues with your Philips Norelco 8800 Wet & Dry electric shaver, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1. Clean the Shaver: Sometimes, performance issues can be caused by hair and debris clogging the shaver’s blades. Make sure the shaver is turned off, and then open the shaver head unit. Remove any hair or debris using the included cleaning brush.
2. Check the Battery: If your shaver is not turning on or is not holding a charge, it might be a battery issue. Ensure that the shaver is properly charged. If it’s not charging, try a different charging cable or adapter.
3. Replace the Blades: If the shaver is not cutting effectively, the blades may be dull or damaged. Check the condition of the blades, and if necessary, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Dull blades can result in a less comfortable shaving experience.
4. Inspect for Damage: Carefully examine the shaver for any visible damage or loose parts. If you find any, contact Philips Norelco customer support for further assistance.
5. Reset the Shaver: In some cases, a simple reset can resolve minor issues. To reset the shaver, remove the shaving head, then press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Release the button and reassemble the shaver head. Try turning it on again.
6. Lubricate the Blades: Lubricating the blades can improve their performance and prolong their lifespan. Use a small amount of shaver lubricant or mineral oil on the blades as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Check for Blockages: If the shaver is not working properly, there may be blockages inside the shaving head or the hair chamber. Ensure that all parts are clean and free of obstructions.
8. Update the Shaver’s Software: Some modern electric shavers can be updated through firmware updates. Check if there are any available updates for your shaver on the Philips Norelco website, and follow the instructions to update the software.
