Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your heated blanket, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Q: Why is my light blinking?
  A: Unplug and reconnect, ensuring the controller is properly connected. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Q: Why does my blanket not heat well?
  A: Ensure the blanket is powered on and set to the maximum level. Allow time for it to heat up.
• Q: Only parts of my blanket are getting warm.
  A: This is usually caused by a bunched or pinched heating element. Lay the blanket flat, untucked, and free from heavy objects. Straighten the heating wires as needed to restore function. Lay the blanket flat and run your fingers along the wire, paying special attention to the top and bottom of the blanket where the wire bends. If any portion of the wire is twisted on itself, manually twist it back.
