Why has my Braun 5696 Electric Shaver shaving performance dropped?
- T
  Tammy TorresSep 2, 2025
  If the shaving performance of your Braun Electric Shaver has significantly decreased, several factors could be responsible. First, the foil and cutter may be worn and need replacement. Second, the personal setting for shaving performance might have been changed. For a thorough and fast shave, the green (intensive) setting is recommended. Third, the shaving system could 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.

Why are battery segments skipped on my Braun 5696 Electric Shaver?

  If the battery segments in the display of your Braun Electric Shaver are skipped as the battery capacity decreases, it's usually because the foil and cutter are worn, which increases the power needed for each shave. Replace the Foil & Cutter cassette and regularly oil the shaving system, especially if you clean it with water.

Why is my Braun Electric Shaver cleaning fluid consumption increased?

  Increased cleaning fluid consumption in your Braun Electric Shaver's Clean&Renew station is often due to a clogged drain. Try cleaning the drain with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean.

What to do if my Braun Electric Shaver head is damp?

  Jonathan SmithAug 27, 2025
  A damp shaver head on your Braun Electric Shaver can occur for a few reasons: * Insufficient drying time after automatic cleaning. Try cleaning directly after shaving to allow more drying time. * A clogged Clean&Renew station drain. Clean the drain with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean. * Prolonged use of the cleaning cartridge. The ethanol/isopropanol proportion decreases while the oil proportion increases. Remove residue with a cloth.

  If your Braun Electric Shaver head is damp, it could be due to a few reasons. The drying time after automatic cleaning might have been too short, so clean directly after shaving to allow enough time for drying. The drain of the Clean&Renew station could be clogged, so clean the drain with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean. Alternatively, the cleaning cartridge might have been used for quite a while, decreasing the ethanol/isopropanol proportion while increasing the oil proportion; remove residue with a cloth.

  If your Braun Electric Shaver cleaning does not start when you press the start button, there are a few possible reasons. First, the shaver might not be placed properly in the Clean&Renew station; ensure the contacts of the shaver align with the contacts in the station. Second, the cleaning cartridge may not contain enough cleaning fluid, indicated by a red light on the display; insert a new cleaning cartridge. Third, the appliance might be in standby mode; press the start button again.
