Introduction
Step 1
Remove base plug
- As other sonicare repair guides show, the base plug is only held in by friction. If you squeeze the sides it will open a gap you can slip a screwdriver in and lever out the base. A bit of cardboard protects the sides from cosmetic damage.

Step 2
release locking tabs
- There are 2 tabs that prevent the insides sliding out. Release these with a small screwdriver while pushing the metal shaft at the other end, and when both tabs are free the innards will slide out.

Step 3
Tighten loose screw
- The screw circled was loose. Tightening this fixed the unpleasant noise. I had to use threadlocker to stop it coming loose again.
