Panasonic WES9040P / WES9181P: ARC5 PALM Parts

Use the WES9040P and WES9181P references to investigate ARC5 PALM cutting parts. Confirm whether the offer contains a set or an individual component before selecting a replacement.

Panasonic names ES-PV6A-W and ES-PV3A-K for the US WES9040P blade-and-foil set and WES9181P outer foil. Choose between the complete cutting-parts set and the outer foil alone. The unsuffixed WES9040 and WES9181 instruction codes remain separate; those records do not establish regional-pack equivalence or fit for every ARC5 generation.

Compare Panasonic references WES9040P, WES9181P, WES9040, WES9181 with their recorded sources below. Keep every regional suffix, component and pack marking when checking an offer.

A shared family name does not establish that every pack, component, colour or generation fits the same device.

Additional exact references and regional packs

These Panasonic codes are kept separately so that a regional pack, component, colour or quantity is not silently substituted for another reference. A model listed for one reference does not establish fit for every reference shown here.

Manufacturer reference evidence and source qualifications

Reference sources and qualifications

A manufacturer may confirm a part number without confirming that it fits your exact shaver. Use the model list and market restrictions above for that decision. Retailer listings describe what is sold; they do not replace manufacturer fit evidence. Dates below identify the recorded source reading or earlier snapshot, not a new test of the product. An unknown date remains unknown.
