Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide will show you how to replace the motor on your Philips Sonicare DiamondClean electric toothbrush. If the motor fails to produce movement or makes excessive noise during function, you may be able to restore your toothbrush by replacing the motor. The motor will need to be desoldered from the circuit board in order to be removed, so be sure to check out our How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide if you are unfamiliar with best practices!

Do you have a part number for the motor?
Double check if the vibrating end on step 4 is screwed tight. On my unit, I though the motor had an issue, whereas it just was that a screw on the vibrating end that had gotten loose.
