According to the Braun manual for your 5414 Contour, the specs for charging are printed on the electric shaver cord plug. (it's REALLY small print, so I'd get a magnifying lens to look at it!)

There isn't anything in the manual about the multiple voltage for charging the shaver, so I'd have to defer to the Braun (Gillette/Proctor & Gamble) customer service folks to make absolutely certain of what can and can't be used as a charging voltage before trying.

Here's a link to your manual, in case you're missing yours.

You can ALSO reach the Braun Customer Service folks by calling them at 1-800-BRAUN 11 (1-800-272-8611)

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

I mistakenly connected a two prong nose trimmer plug to my Braun S5. I don't recall if there was a noticeable reaction. But I do know that my S5 will not accept a charge.

Models numbers are useful in such questions but it looks like one might be 12 volts and the other 6 volts.

Braun series 9 5790 won't run on battery or wall

first check the power at the outlet if it is an electric version. If you have batteries, make sure they're charged fully. You can also test the motor and switches to make sure they're functioning properly.

My braun Contour 5790 does not charge in either the cleaning stand or by the cord alone. Can you help me in this dilema?

It my be the batteries but they usually go bad very gradually and you should still be able to use it from the cord. It sounds more like a problem with the circuit board.

I suggest that you first find out if it can be covered under warranty. You can call an authorized service center at 847-869-7755. They can tell by the date code on it when it was made. If it was made less than 2 years ago. you shouldn't need your receipt.

Non cleaning razor

Dear Freddofrog,
please ensure you have removed the plastic plugs from the cleaning fluid container. If you have removed these i would suggest that the fluid contaner is faulty, your place of purchase should exchange this for you with no problem.
