6. Troubleshooting
- Q: Why is my light blinking?
- A: If an ERROR is detected, the controller display will show an "E" followed by a number, and power to the heating element will not be turned on. Refer to your manual for specific troubleshooting steps for error codes.
- Q: Only parts of my heated mattress pad are getting warm.
- A: This is usually caused by a bunched or pinched heating element. Ensure the mattress pad is laid flat and not tucked in, bunched, or has anything heavy on it. Lay the heated mattress pad flat and run your fingers along the wire, paying special attention to the top and bottom where the wire bends. If any portion of the wire is twisted on itself, manually twist it back.
- Q: My controller feels warm to the touch. Is this a problem?
- A: No. The control will feel warm (not hot) to the touch when functioning properly. Even when the controller is on, small amounts of electricity will cycle through it, which may make the controller warm. If the controller gets hot to the touch, please contact customer service.
- Q: The mattress pad does not turn on when connected to a smart outlet.
- A: Ensure the controller has been set to "smart control" mode (hold PRE-HEAT for 2 seconds). If the mattress pad automatically shut off after 10 hours, the controller may need to be manually reset or the smart outlet cycled off and on to re-engage the smart control feature.
