6. Troubleshooting
If your heated blanket is not functioning as expected, consider the following:
- No Heat/Insufficient Heat: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the controller is firmly connected to the blanket. Check the heat setting on the controller; increase it if necessary.
- Controller Lights Flashing: Refer to the safety section regarding a red flashing thermostat. Unplug and re-plug the controller and power cord.
- Automatic Shut-off: The blanket has an automatic shut-off feature. If it turns off unexpectedly, it may be due to the timer setting or an internal safety mechanism. Wait a few minutes and try turning it on again.
- Uneven Heating: Ensure the blanket is laid flat and not bunched up, as this can affect heat distribution.
