My toothbrush is not recharging, what are my options?

Check to make sure the unit is charging when the bathrrom light is off. I had the same problem.

I'd start with the battery. If the unit has not been used in a while, the battery probably has lost it's ability to be charged.

Try different chargers. If it is all the way exhausted, plug it in and wait 20 minutes or so. Sometimes it doesn't respond for a while, until it has a little bit of charge. Good luck.

toothbrush charges by plugging it into the wall and sitting on base. There are no batteries needed for the toothbrush.

The toothbrush stopped working about two months after I bought it. I called the company-they sent a new one right away, no questions asked. I think the first unit was defective from the get-go. This one has a lot more enthusiasm!

First thought is out of charge. I charge mine overnight every Saturday so I do not forget. If unit is fully charged - still doesn't work - may be defective - I would return for exchange. 2nd thought is you are using mouthwash mixed with water? Instructions state unit will be damaged if you do not use plain water. Was difficult for me to get used to.

I got a Braun Oral B toothbrush at Costco. It came with two brushes and one charger. We just took turns charging--the charge lasts about a week. Mine just died, though(I brush in the shower) so I'm wondering if I should try a Sonic. Everyone raves about it.

If your toothbrush has a solid metal receiver that the brush head slides down . Mine is red and plugs into the wall to recharge.

Just got mine today. The toothbrush runs on rechargeable battery. The charger is rated for 100-240 V ~ AC & 50 - 60 Hz

That's a tough question to ask here on Amazon. If you haven't already, try plugging it in to different outlets in your house to see if it is an issue with the outlet. Also remove the brush head and put it back a few times. I don't know how that affects anything, but I read it in a forum describing a similar problem and that was the resolution. If nothing else works, you may need to call their tech support number at 1-888-525-2747. If you prefer online chats (I know I do) they seem to offer that on their website under the support link.

The same thing happened to me. I believe there's a battery that requires replacing. Me, I just got annoyed, literally threw it away and have been happily brushing my teeth the old fashioned way for the first time in decades. I find it comforting doing this without a fancy gadget. But hey, Im the same person who misses rotary phones and vinyl.

It runs on a rechargeable battery. All I do is plug it in a few days, unplug, and it works for a long time. You can tell when your using it when it will need to be plugged in again. I am very happy with the product and because of the multiple brush heads it comes with I can share it with my daughters and not have to have several different electric tooth brushes. Hope this helps.

You don't need any batteries. The unit that you hold in your hand, sits on a base which is plugged in to the wall & it charges the whole time it sits there, until you use it again! I'm not a very technical brilliant person but, apparently the battery is in the base of the toothbrush which is charged when not in use....

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

Yes, I have a wall mount that no longer charges. The replacement that Amazon offers for the Braun 70-132 works fine with the toothbrush.

Clean the contacts on the charging base and the contacts on the remote with a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol. THe battery should still be fine, it just isn't getting a charge.

Recharge it before it goes dead. It has an led light indicator where you can check the battery charge.
