6. Troubleshooting

If your heated blanket is not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues:

• No Heat: Ensure the controller is securely plugged into both the blanket and the wall outlet. Check if the power outlet is functional.
• Uneven Heat: Verify that the blanket is laid flat and not folded or bunched up, which can impede even heat distribution.
• Automatic Shut-off: The blanket has a built-in auto-off timer (1-12 hours) and overheat protection. If it turns off unexpectedly, it may be due to these safety features. Allow it to cool down before attempting to restart.
• Controller Display Issues: If the display is not working or showing error codes, try unplugging the blanket for a few minutes and then reconnecting it.
