My Philips Sonicare Toothbrush vibration is less powerful than

before

Is your Philips Sonicare toothbrush vibrating weakly or less powerfully than before? You can

view these possible causes and solutions to try and solve this issue yourself.

The easy-start feature is activated

Some models come with the easy-start feature activated. The easy-start feature enables you to

increase the vibrations over time to get used to electric brushing. Disable the easy start feature

to increase the vibrations. You can find detailed instructions in the user manual that came with

your Philips Sonicare toothbrush to deactivate the easy-start feature.

The battery is almost empty

The operational time for a fully charged toothbrush is generally between 2-3 weeks, based on

2, 2-minute brushing sessions per day. The vibrations of your Philips Sonicare toothbrush

weaken as the battery runs out. Fully charge your toothbrush to increase the vibrations. It can

take up to 24 hours to fully charge your Philips Sonicare toothbrush. Be sure to use the original

charger that came with your toothbrush. Some Philips Sonicare toothbrushes come with

different types of charger. They are not interchangeable.

If you have a toothbrush with replaceable batteries, (no charger), it's time to replace the

batteries.

The brush head is worn

Older brush heads can seem less effective or powerful while brushing. We recommend that you

replace your brush head after 3 months of use.

You can purchase a replacement brush head by visiting the Philips Toothbrush Head

replacement page.

This document provides troubleshooting information for the Philips Sonicare DailyClean 2100 electric toothbrush, specifically addressing the issue of reduced vibration power.

Function Description

The Philips Sonicare DailyClean 2100 is an electric toothbrush designed to provide effective cleaning through vibrations. Its primary function is to clean teeth and gums.

Usage Features

Easy-Start Feature: Some models of the Philips Sonicare DailyClean 2100 come with an "easy-start" feature activated by default. This feature is designed to help new users gradually adapt to the powerful vibrations of an electric toothbrush. When activated, the easy-start feature progressively increases the vibration intensity over time, allowing the user to get accustomed to the brushing experience. If you find the vibrations less powerful than desired, it might be due to this feature being active. Users can deactivate the easy-start feature to experience the full vibration power immediately. Detailed instructions for deactivation are typically found in the user manual provided with the toothbrush.

Battery Life and Charging: The toothbrush is powered by a rechargeable battery. A fully charged Philips Sonicare DailyClean 2100 toothbrush generally offers an operational time of approximately 2 to 3 weeks. This estimate is based on a typical usage pattern of two 2-minute brushing sessions per day. As the battery charge diminishes, the vibrations of the toothbrush will gradually weaken, indicating that a recharge is necessary. To restore full vibration power, the toothbrush needs to be fully charged. A complete charge cycle can take up to 24 hours. It is crucial to use the original charger that came with your specific Philips Sonicare toothbrush, as different models may have non-interchangeable chargers. For models that use replaceable batteries (i.e., do not come with a charger), a reduction in vibration power indicates that the batteries need to be replaced.

Maintenance Features

Brush Head Replacement: The effectiveness and power of the toothbrush's vibrations can be significantly impacted by the condition of its brush head. Over time, brush heads wear out, and older, worn brush heads may feel less effective or powerful during brushing sessions. To maintain optimal cleaning performance and vibration power, it is recommended to replace the brush head every 3 months. Replacement brush heads can be purchased from the Philips Toothbrush Head replacement page.

Troubleshooting Reduced Vibration Power: If the toothbrush's vibration power seems less than before, several factors can be checked:

Easy-Start Feature: Verify if the easy-start feature is active and, if desired, deactivate it to experience full power.
Battery Level: Ensure the toothbrush battery is fully charged. Connect it to the original charger and allow sufficient time for a complete charge. If it uses replaceable batteries, replace them.
Brush Head Condition: Inspect the brush head for signs of wear. If it's older than 3 months or appears worn, replace it with a new one.

If, after checking these points and taking the suggested actions, the issue of reduced vibration power persists, users are advised to contact customer support for further assistance.
