Repair electric razors with their own hands under the master. Soberly assess the existing skills, if you do not see the difference between the choke and the capacitor, you are afraid to measure 230 volts without endangering people's lives, it’s better to discard the idea. To clear the mechanism when the electric razor does not cut, will master each. But boast familiar: now know how to carry out repairs electric shavers Mikma.
Cleaning the head of an electric shaver
Modern electric shavers form two broad classes:
- Rotary.
- Grid.
The first are named for the knives rotating the rotors of electric motors. Before you consider self-repair shavers, we describe the cleaning process. Most cases where the device refuses to form beards means that the working head is dirty. The electric shaver kit is supplemented with a brush, a special aerosol. We learn the purpose of things.
Cleaning the rotary shaver
The shaver head is no longer than 1 year. After it is considered: it is time to replace. It is recommended to clean the unit once every three weeks. In the case of a rotary shaver, start with external grids. Gently brush the circle around each, sweeping trim hair.
After the knife block comes unfastened from the shaver body. The site is disassembled into its component parts. From the plastic frame is removed holder with knives, nets. Each pair of cutting surfaces is divided into two parts. Now the desk is littered with:
- plastic frame;
- holder;
- two or three pairs of cutting surfaces, consisting of:
- rotary knife;
- mesh.
Each knife forms a flanged bushing. A piece of thick-walled tube, at one end there is a washer of two to three times the larger diameter. On the formed area with a hole in the middle there are sloped protrusions with cutting surfaces located in the middle. Be careful, even in the blunted state, electric shaver knives can cause harm to health. By the way, concerns the grid models. Handle knives with care. Grid saw everyone. Round parts with slits in a circle, sliding when shaving on the skin.
We brush each element of the shaver's head with a brush, if an aerosol is included in the set, we process knives and nets, and we perform repeated cleaning. It remains to put together the nodes, setting back.
A flick of a click means the shaver is ready to work. Check the product after assembly. It may happen that the parts are not assembled correctly, the knife block is crooked. The electric shaver does not work, it still does not cut - the operation was performed incorrectly.
Disassemble the shaver, following the above recommendations, and reassemble. It did not help, it's time to buy a new head.
Cleaning the grid electric shaver
Take a while to take a brush. You can not do. Even soft touches of bristles can damage the correct shape of the mesh. Electric shaver works worse, knives may be blocked. Straighten the net at home without harm, difficult. Electric razor repair workshops will become worthless helpers.
First. If the razor is washable, cleaning is done after each use. Note one thing. Electric shaver is good after buying the first 3-5 procedures. Then the bacteria begin to multiply in the head shock, each use brings irritation to the skin, which is powerless to remove with special means for personal hygiene. Try instead to find a disinfecting spray, handle the blades before washing. Naturally, the facility should target these goals. Try holding knives under an ultraviolet lamp to block the growth of bacteria.
With regards to other types of electric shavers, clean every few procedures, without using water. For this purpose, the mesh is carefully removed. Purified from the remnants of hair, blowing as it should. Try removing the head and knocking the table carefully. Partially rid the grid of electric shavers from pollution. Block knives fanned with a brush. If the kit contains an aerosol, use it to further clean the instrument.
Similar to the previous case, test the electric shaver after assembly. The effect is unsatisfactory - it's time to buy a new head.
If the electric shaver does not work
Rotary electric shavers
The internal structure of the electric shaver of the rotary type is simple. Inside the engine is mounted, through the output shaft and eccentric gear that transmits torque to two or three knives. Outside the mechanism is protected by a plastic case.
To filter the instability of the supply voltage inside there are several chokes, capacitors. Electric shavers intended for use with different voltages have a special switch. For the technical implementation of the possibility of working from different networks in the stator coil four windings. Copper wires, dressed in cambric, have a fixed color.
Knives
Before you disassemble the shaver, try to turn on the devoid of knives. There is no automatic blocking in the absence of a head - the drive should rotate. It turns out - it's in the head. Remove, disassemble, look. It is possible that the electric shaver assembly buzzes, the knives refuse to rotate.
Power
The next step is to check the mains voltage. In order - disconnect the wire from the body with the block, measure the voltage by plugging in the socket. Caution, be extremely careful to avoid electrical shock. Check the cord by calling a multimeter( tester).The signal passes uncertainly - it is in a floating precipice. Try applying power to the shaver through a different cord. In order - the problem is limited to wire.
Filter Elements
Now comes the choke, the harmonic filter capacitors. Depending on the specific design of the shaver, testing is done in different ways. In a difficult case, elements are removed( removed) in turn, integrity is investigated:
- throttles are ringing;
- capacitors are not swollen.
There are special devices - it will be useful to measure element ratings. Capacities of the blown-up condensers are less than the figure flashing on the case. It is simply impossible not to notice.
You can go another way. Disconnect the stators, measure the voltage of the terminals at both switch positions. Be careful to avoid electric shock. Multimeter test leads are connected to the off device.
Stators
If the fault is not identified, go to the stator windings. Call each one if pinout is known. The resistance of the windings is Ohms. To fix the razor, with a faulty stator, at home is impossible.
Terminals call in pairs - a little, there is no guarantee of full serviceability. Carefully measure the current output of the voltage selector in both positions. Immediately make a reservation, the Russians in the country use a nominal value of 230 volts, there will be enough measurements in this position. If there is no current, the problem is limited to the stator.
Stator coils wound at home if you have the appropriate skills. You can buy suitable.
Anchor
The next thing you should do when repairing shavers is to examine the anchor winding. Check the voltage value of the motor brushes. Voltage is present, the razor does not work - it's in the anchor winding. Rewind at home, if you know the parameters of the wire, the number of turns, other characteristics.
Stator windings, anchors, check with a multimeter. Each withdrawn from the electric razor, prozvanivatsya. You can also measure resistance.
Grid electric razors
Repair of grid models, Remington electric razors, goes the same way. In conclusion, I wanted to say: breaking a knife block with two grids is not a sentence. Find a second copy of a defective, ill other type of breakdown.
Of the two blocks should be repaired the one that has knives in order. Try to assess the sharpness, try how well the pendulum goes back and forth. Repair that block of the electric shaver, which is better. It is strictly not recommended to rearrange the grid with other models of devices, try to make the part yourself.
Each net is attached with several plastic holders. To notice, remove the knives from the head, look carefully from the inside. Each grid is removed without effort. You can help with a small slotted screwdriver.
Review completed. Dear razor is better to carry in the workshop, learn to repair - for cheap! We recommend to store household appliances samples thrown into the trash. As experimental material, they are invaluable for the beginner artisanal master. The experience gained, of course, will come in handy later.
