FAQ’S
How do you use Sunbeam heated bedding?
Lay the electric blanket on your bed.
Connect the cord to the module at the bottom of the blanket, near the label.
Run the cord along the floor under the bed.
Place the warming control on either side of the bed, near the headboard.
Plug your blanket into the outlet.
Are Sunbeam heated blankets safe?
With its low voltage DC current and auto-shutoff feature, the SoftHeat blanket is the safest choice of the electric blankets we tested. We also recommend the Sunbeam Sherpa Mink electric throw with its unique warming system that senses body temperature and room temperature and automatically adjusts heat levels.
Why is my Sunbeam heated blanket not working?
Ensure the control cord is properly connected to the heated bedding module. Check to confirm the power cord is securely connected to the wall outlet. Be certain to switch the control to “On”. Dual controls frequently get switched and may be trying to operate the opposite side of the heated bedding.
Do heated blankets cost a lot of electricity?
An electric blanket might consume 200 watts (depending on the setting). So if you leave it on for 10 hours, it consumes 2 kilowatt-hours. That would cost between 15 and 30 cents, depending on your location. Many appliances tell you their energy consumption.
Why is my electric blanket not heating up?
Unplug the blanket and check that all the connections are tight. Often, part of the cord or control unit will have been pulled loose. This means that the blanket is not getting enough power and not heating up to temperature.
What does blinking light on electric blanket mean?
“FF” is Flashing on the Display
If the sign “FF” is flashing on your digital control or if there is blinking
light on your gradient control, that means there is a problem with your
blanket and it needs to be reset.
How do I reset my Sunbeam heating pad?
Response from Sunbeam
We recommend you to reset your heating pad by unplugging and plugging it back
in. Make sure to check the cord if it’s tightly connected and plug it into a
wall outlet.
How do you clean a Sunbeam electric blanket?
Sunbeam suggests pre-soaking your electric blanket in cold water with mild soap for 15 minutes before washing. Once it’s soaked, wash the blanket in mild soap and water on the “delicate” or “gentle” setting for 2 minutes. Then, rinse in cold, fresh water, and let it spin dry.
Can you put an electric blanket in the dryer?
Yes, you can! Just be sure to set the dryer to a low heat setting and set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, take the blanket out to hang dry on a drying rack or clothesline.
Why does my heating blanket say E?
You may ask what it does. Well, it’s digital, and after a bit of being on, it puts an “E” in the digital display. That means there is an error.
Why is my Sunbeam heating blanket blinking red on high?
The controller will blink red if the throw is disconnected or the internal heating wires have broken (open circuited). For me it went back into normal operation once I had reconnected the throw to the controller then reset it by unplugging the AC power plug then plugging it back in.
Why is my Sunbeam heating pad blinking and not working?
It’s related to a safety feature. The pad is designed to go into blink mode when it’s in danger of overheating. But this is not supposed to break the pad and make in inoperable.
