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.
Thank you very much!
I once read your instructions before but forgot them afterwards. Took me while to find it again but it was really worth it! :)
