I got this clipper on sale for $10 over 20 years ago. The saving is about $15 a haircut times at least 4 hair cuts a year making a saving of $60 a year cutting my own hair. Times by 20+ years and that's over $1200 savings off my $10 investment, but my clipper blades quit moving. I bought a new one and thought before I give up on the old one I should take it apart and clean it out. I got it to start working again and then returned the new clippers after I shaved my hair high and tight. I have given myself my own haircuts since the beginning. I use a small hand mirror and the large bathroom mirror. I either run a 1 or nothing across the sides and cut the top by using my fingers. I squeeze the hair up and anything that come above my fingers I cut. I then blend the edges using whatever size trimmer I used for the tight. It takes me all of 20-30 minutes. I figure it is less time then sitting in the waiting room and for sure less time when I include driving there the wait and the drive back. I have gotten pretty good at this and even cut my own hair for my own wedding! I have even spelled thing out in my hair, for team spirit. It's amazing what you can do with two mirrors and a clipper. Next time you need a hair cut give it a try. If you're really horrible the worst that can happen is you shave it all down and it grows back and that one hair cut you gave yourself typically pays for the clipper.
and all the time I've

8 years later and still a great help. Thank you sir!!
my cord cracked and arced. I should have just fixed the cord because the old one worked better than the Wahl I have now
thank you for uploading this informative video. I very nearly went out and purchased a new razor without need. You've saved me money and empowered me with self-maintenance knowledge to be a shaper of my own fate; and a shaper of my own hair.
It always feel good to know you've done something on your own. Too many people just throw everything away and buy new and have no idea how anything works. Worst case scenario you break it and it's junk, but the plan was originally to throw it away and get a new one, so never a loss in taking something broken apart if the plan was to ditch it anyway. Glad you gave it ago and it worked for you....
Pound and a bear hug. Just trashed Wahl in a review. Used a handful of times, this happened. Sent in for repair, used once, and this happened again. Decide to use the internet, and found your video. Literally two seconds to loosen blade screws. No cleaning, and voila. They work. I hope everything in your life is going smoothly and as planned. Have a great year my brother!
Appreciate the feedback and glad it helped! Things are going well this year! Thanks
Super helpful! I managed to fix our clippers without having to ask my husband 💪🏻
Glad it helped!!! Appreciate you taking the time to send a thanks!!!
Mine just broke in the middle of my kid's haircut. Did just what you showed there and it works perfectly now! Thankfully mine were newer so much less hair lol. Thanks!
Sweet! Glad it worked! don't forget to give it a thumbs up! Thanks for the post- I enjoy the feedback. It helps make it feel worth my while......Thanks again :)
I had a similar problem. I had to unscrew the blade and clean the hair. Due to the fact that I did not use oil too often, dirt accumulated between the blade and the movable base. I had to clean the blade thoroughly from the inside and pour oil over it. Now everything works.
there is usually a screw on the side too that you can adjust by turning to adjust the speed of the blades. my manual said turn the screw until it makes a loud noise and then turn it back about one and a half turns. oh and dont forget to oil the blades around every three haircuts too. hope this helps.
MrScottytoohottie +++++++Oh yeah I did that and must not have put it in the video. Thanks for the addition.++++++
your welcome. good luck. :)
Thanks alot man! I Was gonna throw out my Remington hair clippers and just out of curiosity I wondered if in fact I would be able to take apart and put back my clippers then I stumbled upon your video. I did all you did like clean the blades, remove the excess hairs left behind, lubricate the blades afterwards and voila! Runs smooth like new!
Glad it helped. I appreciate the post. They get pretty nasty
Wow! I called you up first. Mine were clean (uhhh, you need to vacuum ;).) I loosened the blades and FIXED! I have thrown some out (over $50) for this issue . . . THANK YOU!! p.s Mine where Wahl, same issue.
Thanks dude. Worked for me on a... Type P08Y E 25563. But now that the blades move it's making a really loud noise. I'd nearly forgotten it made that noise before it stopped working. So, more troubleshooting involved, but at least the damn thing cuts stuff again.
Try oil on the blades and if that does not work try to adjust the screw that is on the side.
Best of luck and thanks for the comment
thanx dude! its not jst about saving money but the pleasure of fixing it on your own :)
For me it's a little of both :)
Clean it up fully and oil man...oil.
derty_rabbit 😂😂😂
😂😂✊👏
Gonna do this when I get home, mine keep jamming after a few seconds and did so when I first got them, so assuming it's too tight on the blades
Thanks for the video. I used it for reference to fix mine and helped me quite a lot.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it when people take the time to say thanks. Glad you got yours going. Worst case scenario I always figure if I have something and it's broken and I try to work on it I can't make it any worse than broken. I try and fix everything before I toss anything out.. Again appreciate the comment.
thanks. saved me from buying a new clipper.
Sweet glad you got it...
Mah boi those are some nasty ass clippers
+Anon Gamer I had not unscrewed them and opened them up for about 20 years, so I guess it's to be expected and is probably what most others will see when they first open theirs. I recently bought a new Wahl clipper, but far prefer this one, so I have been doctoring it along, until it can no longer be rehabilitated :)
+You can Fix It!!!! There is tiny trackball that I accidentally dropped from my power switch and it's not working anymore..Any help is welcome....
+You can Fix It!!!! Never mind, I got it
Awesome!
Thanks, I did all the same things before watching this but then it jams when using it. So I'll try loosening the screws a little
Let me know if the screw helped and how it's jamming. Is it clicking on for a second and then jamming or instantly?
Whitefright Oil for the love of all that's holy, disinfect with alcohol if you don't have something more professional and then oil so it has lube to move, possibly sharpen the blade and NEVER PLUG IN SOMETHING WITH THE LIVE WIRES SHOWING!
Shit men, in the min 1.29 you are not showing how did you fix that.. you were just saying oh is fix
Nice. Only critique is the PSA that electricity may cause death. Lol
Yeah! I got it open and plugged in and its the only responsible thing to do. Otherwise someone's going to jam their fingers in there while fixing it in the shower. You know how some people are.......
Thanks bro
No problem
THANKS!
Glad it helped!!!
@@youcanfixit3721They don't make these like they used to from back in the day. 2:41
The main issue I see here is that you don't seem to have oil lubricating the cutting blade. Best of luck.
Bro after reading your comment I paused the video all I did was put a couple drops between them. Turned them on and worked like new.
I'm having the same problem
If your trimmer/clippers are vibrating but the blades aren't moving; and this video did not help you, I think i may have found a solution tonight for you.
My Vahl trimmer/clippers have a large black plastic screw on the side. Loosen it up and turn the thing on.
If that doesnt work try repeating the steps in the video.
Hope this helps.
+Airborne Centeno Thanks for helping. Hopefully it saves someone some time. Lord knows we get on here cause we want to fix something quickly, so Thanks again for adding. I appreciate it.
that's a nice tip, loosening and tightening that plastic screw moves the horizontal placements of the blades
Thank you!!!
Thank you SO MUCH! It worked! I tightened it down about a quarter turn and it started working like new! AWESOME!!
thanks it work, but the sound is too loud jajaja
my issue is that the screws were too tite apparently
seems that's it difficult to great the rite sweet spot with how tite the screws shud be, if its too tite no vibrating, if too loose the blades slide out of position when clippers turned on. update: have been adjusting it for 15mins, blades keep getting out of position, haven't been able to get a sweet spot where they stay aligned
Total help. Thanks.
+Chris Myers Thanks for the comment - They help out! Glad it helped you out. Thanks for the support.
I have a Wahl, but assumed it would look similar inside. It's basically the same.
I think mine just needed oil after not using it for years but I gave it a good cleaning anyway and now my hair is shorter.
Since I haven't done this for years it might look dumb... but I think (hope) it's okay...
Yeah my old one rarely needed oil. I bought a Wahl and the one I have needs oil like every other use or it won't cut...
@@youcanfixit3721 I think mine is alright. I didn't use it for probably close to ten years.. Maybe like eight years. Never needed oil before when I was using it more regularly, that I recall.
I'll keep that in mind if I ever try to replace it though.
good for you man i dont need it but good for you and thanks for the effort
Super 👌👌💯💯☑️
YOU ARE THE BEST!
thanks... Glad it helped
Thank you so very much. I almost threw Andis out. This saved me.
+Jenn Watt Thanks for the comment... I always appreciate hearing one of my vids was helpful :) Thanks again!
My dad tried to cut my hair today but last Time when he cut my hair he dropped it and when he started cutting it Made an ugly loud buzz noise AND it scared me
Hopefully he got it lookin' nice!
@@youcanfixit3721 it still makes the noise it sounds like a big fat fart
no need to disassemble , just oil the blades and it starts moving.
yes Oil is a great first step! Thanks for the comment.
Hey are you aware if clogged hair can cause it to stop working all together?
I don't see any frays in the wire etc. - but now in plugging it in and turning it on, nothing happens like it's dead (no vibrating sound etc.).
I've just been using it for my dog, and they are long 3 hours sessions, but still I don't think I burnt it out but maybe?
Thanks for the video though.
I have an Andis 75360 and the open and closed switch moves but the blades don't move , how do I fix ?
How can solve electric 230 volt hair timmer machine probem when not cutting hairs properly
thanks hopefully this will work,!
Did it work?
tried the video guide. nothing happened. tried the comments (oil)... it worked!
Yes oil helps, but a good cleaning does too. My new Wahl is having issues and I think I need to clean it out and give it a tune-up. Just adding the oil is not cutting it anymore, and I figured this out half way though a haircut(on my own head). It was bad and I was in a panick, but was able to tinker my way through a haircut, which is a bit scary when your hair is all different length and different size strands hanging out everywhere. Glad the oil helped cause that's the easiest.
Hell yeah! Thanks mo-fo

is that basically just an elecromagnet that makes these work?
+Denny Hostutler That's what I was thinking it looked like. It is simply a vibration of the bars making it go back and forth
hi there i just opened up apart and found out that the small magnet which is supposed to move back and forth has some of the magnet layers separated! so then the hole metal magnet case does not move,I guess it means it is already garbage right? it is a cheap chinese one
Some aren't worth fixing. Not sure what the magnet used for. Check ebay and you may find a used part if you want to repair it. What's cheap?$10?$50? Just wondering.
You can Fix It!!!! No thanks it is. Not necessary I didn't realize it was still covered by warranty and replaced it for a new one already thanks anyways
Thank you mate!!
I am experiencing the same problem as you! But, my wahl is brand new I never used ! I tested and was working fine, but when I got home after few days, I tried to turn it on and it was too strong, the blades were too fast, then I (dumb) tried to adjust by that screw on the side, but I turned it to the wrong side, I mean, to let it even stronger/faster, then the blades just stopped!
its motor is working and vibrating, now I regulated the speed, but the blades are not moving??
Any ideai to help this dumb here?
Cheers!
It should only be turned slightly and I do it while running. You can try loosening the screws as seen at 0:15 seconds in my video. just slightly loosen and see if this frees it up. Sorry not there, but I'd start with that. Let me know if you get it and what it was.
+You can Fix It!!!! cheers for you fast response!
actually, I think I handled and tried so many things, that the blades was unoiled, I just oiled the blades and started to work, but it is still not tottaly fine, it's pulling my hair a bit :/
thanks!
Oil can do the trick, it can also reduce the pulling of hair. If just oil doesn't work try looking on the WAHL FAQ page here
wahlglobal.com/imgs_up/FAQs%20Consumer.pdf
Best of luck!
Shit men, in the min 1.29 you are not showing how did you fix that.. you were just saying oh is fix
I attempted this and still nothing. Left the blades off completely and still just locking up on and off. It's a pretty simple device. Doesn't seem to be anything mechanically blocked. So I guess it's the coil. Dunno I'm stumped.
Looks like your using your clippers on a long hair poodle
Just 20 years of hair collected in there
hey man !!
i have question for u ?
my clipper charging but doesn't work ( start) !
can u help me
+Plaku Mere I don't have enough info. If it isn't making any noise or doing anything it sounds like a power or switch issue. Battery may be bad? But I have no idea.

technical gadget guru add cool care and oil.. Clean all the hair out as well with a brush and a pipe cleaner.
what if the moving blade broke?
what if the motor is really weak?
+Kyung Is it weak or do you need to adjust the tension screw on the side. That may fix your problem. If the motor is bad you'd have to replace it or buy a new clipper.
+You can Fix It!!!! I dont think the motor is bad? The two clips barely move but it has a faint buzzing sound that it makes.
do you have screws on the back of the blade that you can see at 15 seconds? If these are too tight the blade can't vibrate back and forth also check the screw on the side.
which one is the inside screw
Yikes! I meant the screw on the outside of the clipper. Should be opposite side of the on/off switch and you don't have to take anything apart to get to this it is on the outside. Best of luck!
what is the function of the sponge
+Izzat Danial I have no idea. I am assuming to hold hair back from getting up inside the electrical area, but that's just a guess.
+You can Fix It!!!! the sponge is to hold oil so that it gets into the moving parts and they dont burn up
Thanks! had no idea
sound?
+mikeyd19841 Forgot to thank you for letting me know the sound was gone. Thanks!!!!!!
you better buy new one before fixed. it is wreck.
all this stuff is nonsense about the screws--the blades simply need to be oiled and they start vibrating again. Have done it maybe times with my unit where oiling it gets it goin. Bot an additional bottle of WAHL oil--because the small little bottle that comes with it is WAYYY too low. It's nonsense level low. It runs out after a handful of haircuts.
How do u fix the Motor
Is your motor bad or do you just need to adjust the side screw?
You can Fix It!!!! Like the motor thing or the arm thing isn't moving at all
Could be your cord not getting power there either. I know I had some cord issues. I would start there.
@@youcanfixit3721 my dad tried cutting my hair today but last Time he dropped it AND it Made an ugly loud buzz
O I L ! !
What is the name of motor?
Conair
I can't even take mine apart, it won't go back together. :(
I'm Confused??? You took it apart and it won't go back together or you can't take it apart? If it is apart make sure the blades are the right way. Not sure where your issue is. make a vid and post it and someone will let you know how to fix it. Best of luck....
please really make sure you clean the hair out and oil them. it will help the life of your clippers .
oil
Samir
oil. and spend more than $10 on clippers
Dang!!!!!! Actually it was the cheapest pair I had bought, but I actually preferred that one to the other ones I have purchased since and amazingly it ran considerably better with less issues than my Wahl. So cheap isn't always worse.... I ended up having cord issues and got rid of the conair, but while I had the conair and the Wahl I still found myself going back to the conair until I had to put it in the recycling bin!
Man I miss that clipper 😭😭😭
You don’t fix it because it look raggedy
What?
Was that Underarm hair??😂😂😂😂
KANG 20 no it was pubes
Hair made me vomit
Vomit makes me vomit!!!! At least the smell.....
@@youcanfixit3721Happy New Year! Do you still have the Conair hair clippers?
Wish I did.... It lasted a long time, but the cord shorted. I should have put a new cord on. I'm on my 3rd Wahl's since then and they just don't seem to do as well... Not sure why??? Guessing they're made more cheaply than Conair or older clippers.@@arasandrohale-bibbobie4953
@@youcanfixit3721 Do you plan on buying Conair/Conairman clippers anytime soon?
I hope I don't need to for a while, but who knows when this Wahl will go out...@@arasandrohale-bibbobie4953
