Sonicare will not stay on when button is ...

Feb 28, 2009

-   My sonicare comes on for a second then stops. It does this occassionally. This morning it did that but tomorrow it will probably work right. I never know if its going to work. I've had the thing for three years and it has the problem at least 3 times a months. I keep a regular toothbrush on hand. It's makes me want to through it against the wall.

-   mine also does something similar. i've had it for 2 years now and i did not leave it in the charger after each brushing as recommended in the manual. i don't know if this was the cause. however, i had another sonicare before this and it lasted 4 years without keeping it in the charger after each brushing. philips seems to be having problems. my philips norelco razor also has a problem with turning on (after only 1 year of use). my wife has an oral b braun toothbrush and it's been working well for over 4 years. -   thomas_tan
