Even though I have the right amount of solution between the min and max level right it will go down and come right back up and the flashing red light keeps going on and off.I have never dropped this unit and it worked good when I bought it for three weeks only. I buy the solution from Norelco and it is genuine.

I had the exact same problem. Then I put more solution in so that it was just above the MAX line and it worked fine. So make sure you have enough cleaning solution in the system and it should work great.

I've changed out the batteries. You have to buy them on line cause they are two AA sized nicads that are connected with soldered tabs and have two free tabs that must be soldered in place. That means you have to unsolder the old ones. Make sure you notice the + and - sides of the old ones so the new ones are installed the same way. The case is opened by removing 5 screws. Note how a black plastic clip on top of the motor is placed cause it will fall out. The motor has to come out with the batteries and the circuit board under the batteries. The motor is connected to the circuit board with fragil thin metal leads that can break. One of mine did and I repaired it by soldering a short piece of thin, insulated phone wire. Mine worked really well until I let it run too far down before recharging and now my red light is on, too. I did get it to recharge by dismantling partly and reassembling; may be a faulty connection cause it went back to the red light and wouldn't run until I whacked it a couple times on my hand. It now runs, but still have red light which may mean its not charging. Looking for a manual to see what the red light means. I've also had it blink with a red light several times which may be a diagnostic light indicaton. Here's a link for the batteries, but there are probably other sources http://www.interstatebatteries.com/estore/search.asp?details=1&bnd=Norelco&mscssid=6256X7VH67LW9JBSK6Q7RTJRKXCQA3N8&Ntt=norelco&N=4294600169&mdl=600RX&part_number=NIC0200&part_desc=Norelco+600RX+replacement+battery&Nu=Part+Number&Ntx=mode+matchboolean&Ns=product+Type%7C0%7C%7CRank%7C1&Ntk=SearchGroup&js=1
SOURCE: I no longer have the owners manual. What does it
According to the manual, the red light comes on while charging when the battery does not yet have enough charge to sustain a 3-5 minute shave. The green light stays on steady while the razor is charging, and blinks when it is fully charged. If your battery life is short, they might need to be changed.

You should always use the same type batteries that your shaver was designed to be used with. Your shaver was designed for use with NiCd batteries. If you have use NiMH batteries this may be causing the problem you described.
However, I would say that it is more likely that you have some sloppy solder that is bridging something that is not supposed to touch. You should check the battery solder joints on the circuit board and clean up any sloppy solder work that may be there.

I have had 3 1050CC shavers all with the same
problem. Apparently other models have the same issue. After about a year of
use, the unit reverses after dipping the shaver into the cleaning solution for
a second. Two were replaced by Philips within the 2 year warranty period. I
still use the 3rd one. There are several things you can try. If the
cleaning solution is low this will cause the shaver to reverse and not clean.
Add more cleaning solution. I have noticed that sometimes I have to add more
fluid to the unit after a week of use. Sometimes it is necessary to fill the
solution a little above the max fill line. Be careful though. Filling it too
much above the max fill line can cause cleaning fluid to run out of the bottom
after a cleaning cycle. If the above two
fixes don't work, then press the clean button and after the unit reverses back
up, wait about 5 or 10 minutes and press it again and it should stay down as
long as there is enough cleaning solution in the unit. If you wait too long or
too little to press the button, it won't work. I have noticed if I press the
button immediately after it reverses the same problem occurs. Also if I wait 30
minutes before pressing the button the same problem occurs. There must be some
sort of timing cycle. You may have to repeat this process a few times to get it
to stay down and clean. This is the only way I can get mine to clean now.
Obviously something is getting dirty or wearing out over time in the cleaning
system. Since I have had 3 shavers with the same problem, I know many others
have had it too. Philips must be aware of the problem. It is frustrating that
they don't offer help on their own website and consumers have to band together
to solve problems that they should be solving. The two year guarantee is very generous,
but there is a design flaw with this product.
