What to do if shaving system is still wet after cleaning Program has been completed in Braun 5694?

  Mark Ruiz Jr.Sep 1, 2025
  If the shaving system of your Braun Electric Shaver remains wet after the cleaning program, it could be due to a clogged drain in the Clean&Renew station or an old cleaning cartridge. Try cleaning the drain with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean. If that doesn't work, the ethanol proportion has decreased while the oil proportion has increased in the cleaning cartridge. Remove residue with a cloth.

  If you notice a significant drop in your Braun Electric Shaver's battery performance, it could be due to worn foil and cutter requiring more power, or the shaver head being regularly cleaned with water but not lubricated. Consider replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette. If you regularly clean the shaver with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.

Why is the shaver head of my Braun Electric Shaver damp?
- A
  Amanda PhelpsAug 29, 2025
  A damp shaver head may occur if the drying time after automatic cleaning was too short (clean directly after shaving to allow enough time for drying). Also, the drain of the Clean&Renew station may be clogged (clean the drain with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean). The cleaning cartridge might have been used for a while (remove residue with a cloth, since the ethanol/isopropanol proportion has decreased while the oil proportion has increased).

How to get rid of the unpleasant smell from Braun 5694 head?
- J
  Julie SandersAug 28, 2025
  An unpleasant smell may arise if the shaver head is cleaned with water (use only hot water and, occasionally, liquid soap without abrasive substances; remove the Foil & Cutter cassette to let it dry). Also, replace the cleaning cartridge at least every 8 weeks.

What to do if shaving performance dropped significantly on my Braun 5694 Electric Shaver?
- L
  Lisa MooreAug 27, 2025
  A significant drop in shaving performance with your Braun Electric Shaver can be caused by several factors. First, the foil and cutter may be worn and need replacement. Second, check if the personal setting for shaving performance has been changed. For a thorough and fast shave, the green (intensive) setting is recommended. Third, the shaving system might be clogged. To resolve this, soak the Foil & Cutter cassette in hot water with a drop of dish liquid, then rinse it properly, tap it out, and apply a drop of light machine oil once it's dry.

  A significant drop in shaving performance of your Braun Electric Shaver can be due to several reasons: worn foil and cutter, a changed personal setting, or a clogged shaving system. To resolve this, renew the Foil & Cutter cassette. For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the green (intensive) setting. Also, soak the Foil & Cutter cassette into hot water with a drop of dish liquid, rinse it properly, tap it out, and apply a drop of light machine oil on the foil once dry.

What to do if cleaning doesn't start when pressing the start button on my Braun 5694?
- Z
  Zachary MasonAug 26, 2025
  If cleaning doesn't initiate when you press the start button, ensure the shaver is correctly placed in the Clean&Renew station so that the contacts align. Also, verify that the cleaning cartridge has enough cleaning fluid (replace it if the display lights red). Finally, ensure the appliance is not in stand-by mode by pressing the start button again.

Why does my Braun 5694 Electric Shaver turn off with a fully charged battery?
- E
  Emily MurrayAug 25, 2025
  If your Braun Electric Shaver turns off even with a fully charged battery, it's likely due to worn foil and cutter parts requiring more power than the motor can provide. Replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette should resolve this. Also, regularly oil the shaving system, especially after cleaning it with water only.
