Dear Rob;
Peace be unto you.
Thank God for the internet. It is really good that you have a desire to help others. I have been a barber for thirty-seven years, and I really need to start fixing my own clippers. Where can I get replacement parts to do the work with? I will greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

Sincerely,
James

It might just be some other mechanical parts inside the clipper that loose now and vibrating. Feel around and see if anything is loose.

Ok thanks for the help anyway. I will try and see what is that sound. I don’t think it’s the transformer, but I’m not sure. Anyway, thanks. Hope it doesn’t break soon or in the middle of cutting my hair.

Hmm, it depends, Pablo. If you’ve already cleaned it and tried loosening and tightening that screw, that’s the extend of what I did to fix mine. Beyond that, you might have to replace the transformer, which could be hard to find. That’s something that I could help with finding, but it might not be all that cheap.

Hey Rob,
I have the same clippers as you and have been using them for around 16 years now. Problem is, now they just started to sound horrible! They can still cut and work very good, but the sound is louder and really bad.
I took it apart and cleaned it, did a little maintenance with the rust and everything, and still sounds terrible. I don’t know if it’s the magnet hitting something or some other thing, curious thing is, they still cut perfectly. The screw on the side, I’ve already loosened and tightened it up and nothing seems to work. I’m just affraid that sound would mean they will reheat at some point or something.
Can you help me with this? Thank you

I took my Andis Styliners 2 apart and an oval ring with with two rectangular shapes (one flat and the other at 60 degrees all attached together) feel to th ground. I looked at both your diagrams but none illustrate where this piece goes. I’m sure this is important do you have an idea?

Yeah, your transformer could be dead. If you want to send it to me for repair, I can take a look for you.
