20 Most Recent Norelco Bodygroom Men's Total Body Grooming System Questions & Answers

OK, I am incredibly impatient, so I just figured out how to disassemble the bodygroom on my own. The button issue is fixed quite easily as there is no spring.

To disassemble, I simply removed the silver/gray side plates. Then put an instrument in the blue hole and torqued it a bit and the fittings popped out of place and the top released. I recommend using some sort of plastic tool so as not to mar up the casing. Then, the guts are fairly straightforward. The button is just a piece of rubber with a rubber knob on the bottom. When you push it, it simply pushes a really small button on the motor. When it gets stuck, I am guessing the rubber knob has somehow gotten stuck next to the motor button. After you take off the top cover of the motor, the button should be back to where it is supposed to be. Just put everything back together in reverse order.

That fixed mine! Good luck!

Same thing happened to me so I took the thing apart and that's all it took. The compartment that contains the battery and chip had a vacuum built up that prevented the button from being depressed. Once I opened it and released the pressure the switch worked again.

I contacted norelco and they said I need to buy a new head every six months. Nice. They will send me one free. As I said to them, I doubt if I would sustain that buying habit.

It is possible that your shaver does not turn on or move because it is dirty. There can be hair or dirt particles stuck inside it, causing the shaving heads to be blocked. To fix this problem, properly clean your shaver. If possible, remove the shaving head and clean your shaver from the inside as well.
