Braun 8985 replacement foil and blades is braun series 5 combi 51S foil and cutter replacement pack.

But costomer reviews in amazon.com who take braun series 3 combi 30B foil and cutter replacement pack is fits to Braun 8985 perfectly, very smooth and close shave. Shaves much better than the Braun 51S screens foil.

You consideration

BRAUN SHAVER MOD 7570, SHAVER NO LONGER SHAVES WELL, SHAVER MAKES A LOUD NOISE IT IS SAID I NEED A NEW MOTOR , I CAN'T FIND OUT HOW TO REPLACE IT, HOPE YOU CAN HELP.

You will find the replacement at shaveroutlet.com. See link below.

http://shaveroutlet.com/braun-7000-series-syncro-motor-drive-unit-p-110.html

To open the shaver body, you will first need to gently pry off the 'cap' on the bottom that surrounds the hole where the cord plugs in. Once removed the side grips will pull off revealing 4 screws. Remove screws to take off back cover and access insides. Inner parts simply lift out.

New head

Hello Brian, You can give the folks at www.electricshaver.com a try. They typically stock all the replacement and repair parts for most brands of electric shavers.

Here's a link to their site where you'll find part #5646768 for about $38 for a new set of the cutter head and foil (screen). It's always best to replace BOTH the foil and cutter block (head) at the same time, as any mircro burrs or nicks in the cutter blades will quickly ruin any new foil screen.

http://www.electricshaverstore.com/get_item_5646768_braun-foil-cutter-kit-360-complete-8000-series.htm

As you know, this is the simplest and easiest way to get an electric shaver back to a "like-new" shaving experience.

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Shaver started making a much louder buzzing sound, no longer shaves as well and now hurts a bit to use. Can this be fixed?

Hello Robert, It sounds like the foil screen might have been damaged and is causing poor shaving performance. Typically, a screen will get small holes or tears in it after providing good service for some years, however, these very thin screen foils, can get damaged other ways too.

The best way to restore the best shaving performance is to replace both the foil screen AND the cutter head block (cutter head) as it could be possible that the cutter blades have become damaged or nicked and have caused the foil screen to become damaged, as a result.

I would contact www.electricshaver.com and see if you can purchase a new set of the cutter block head and the screen foil for your particular Braun shaver model. As the Braun 360 is a tradename used on a couple of different model numbers, you really need the four (4) digit model number in order to locate the correct replacement parts.

Here's a link to their page with the various Braun replacement cutter blocks and foil screens. You might find your model number amoung them, otherwise, you can also give them a call at 1-888-476-1785 and ask them to assist you with selecting the proper replacement parts.

http://www.electricshaverstore.com/get_list_125.htm

As you are no doubt aware, replacing the cutter head and foil screen is the best and simplest way to restore an electric shaver to a like new shaving condition and much less expensive than replacing the entire shaver.

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

New foil required for braun 370 travel shaver

Hello MrandMrsInger! You can purchase a new replacement foil for your Braun 370 at the link I've provided below. Basically, you'll be getting a new cutter block and foil for it, as the foils are no longer provided separately.

Braun, now owned by Gillette, discovered that many folks would buy just the new screen (foil) and it would get torn/damaged by a nick in the cutter block blades, so they packaged these wear items as a set to eliminate those very common problems. I had it happen to mine several years ago, so I know why they made the change.

Anyway, here's the website with your replacement parts:

http://www.electricshaverstore.com/get_list_125.htm

Just scroll down to the 2nd item shown, I believe, and you'll see your replacement set.

You can also use the part numbers to try to locate another supplier, if you wish, as these are the actual Braun part numbers provided.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Need a new foil for model 5479 Braun electric shaver

This particular Braun shaver was made in both a US and European version. They are similar, but take slightly different cutter blocks and foil screens, sooooooo

If you bought your shaver in the US, then you can get a replacement foil here for around $8.00 or you can find another supplier of your choosing.

http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=4997848

If you bought your shaver in the UK, then a replacement is available on Amazon.com (UK site) for quite a bit more in British pounds.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Braun-Replacement-Foil-Cutter-System1-2-3/dp/B0000X5HPK

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!
