Original shaving head holder for Philips shaver 422203628701

The original Philips shaving head holder, part number 422203628701, is a set of 3 light blue retaining rings that attach the round shaving heads to the body of the machine in the 7, 8, 9 and Prestige series. A broken, loose or lost ring causes unstable movement of the shaving heads. Easy self-replacement - no tools, in minutes.

Is the retaining ring clicking and not closing properly? That’s a sign that it needs replacing. In our experience, most men don’t know that a worn ring causes the shaving head to move in an uncontrolled manner – resulting in a less close shave and irritated skin. The solution is simple and quick.

A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of the device, it is mandatory to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause damage. Now click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and our system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for you.

Why do the shaving heads move and not stay in place?

The most common cause is a worn or broken retaining ring. These rings turn clockwise and lock each shaving head individually. When the plastic wears out, the lock separates – and the head moves freely instead of sticking to your face. Replacing all 3 rings together restores full stability.

The original shaving head holder 422203628701 is made of durable ABS plastic exactly according to Philips specifications. The sizes, locking angles and “click” mechanism are calibrated for Philips shavers only. Non-original parts tested by our technicians – the head moves slowly and less smoothly, just like the reviews we saw in English: “The head moved sluggishly.”

💡In our experience, about 40% of calls for “moving razor heads” are resolved by replacing the rings only – without the need to replace complete razor heads, which cost several times more. Check the rings before ordering new heads.

🔧 How do you replace the retaining rings?

Replacement is a simple DIY that takes about 3 minutes, no tools required. Open the machine head with the release button below the heads. Then:

1. Detaching the shaving head holder – Press the release buttons and detach the holder.
2. Removing old rings – Turn counterclockwise and remove
3. Inserting the new rings – Insert the ring into the groove
4. נעילה – Turn clockwise until you hear a clear “click”
5. Return of the holder – Insert it back into the device body and close it.

⚠️ Make sure the device is turned off before replacing.

💡 Tip from the experts

When replacing new shaving heads (SH91/50 or SH90) – this is the right time to replace the rings as well. Our technicians repeatedly see customers who have ordered new shaving heads for 200-300 NIS, but the shave is still not smooth – because the old rings do not hold the new heads with the right pressure. The cost of the rings is negligible compared to the heads, so do not skip them.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between light blue and orange rings?

The orange rings are the older version – they differ in locking angle and size. The light blue rings (422203628701) are the latest version and fit most Philips shavers manufactured from 2016 onwards. If you have orange rings, check if your device is compatible with the light blue rings before ordering.

Can I buy one ring instead of a whole set?

The part is sold as a set of 3 rings, one for each shaving head. Philips recommends replacing all 3 rings together – because if one is worn out, the rest are on their way to similar wear. Replacing just one ring will create uneven pressure on the shaving heads.

Can it be replaced independently?

Absolutely. It’s an easy DIY operation that doesn’t require any tools. Philips designed the mechanism for home use – the rings lock and unlock with a simple twist of the fingers. Philips’ official videos demonstrate the operation in less than 3 minutes.
