What to do if the Sunbeam heated blanket blinking?

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Check that the control is tightly connected to the module in the blanket.
3. Re-plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
4. On a digital control, you should see flashing symbols and the display on your control will clear.

It is also possible that the Sunbeam heating blanket is flashing because it is not getting enough current from the outlet or the blanket connections are loose. Reconnect the controls and plug to a different outlet to make sure the problem is not in the outlet itself.

What does it mean when your heated blanket is blinking?

Q: What does “F1” or “F2” mean on my Electronic Digital Control?
A: The digital controls are designed to notify you in the event that a problem has been discovered by flashing “F1” or “F2” on the display.

Q: What does “FC”, “FF” or “FP” mean on my Electronic Digital Control?
A: The digital controls are designed to notify you in the event that a problem has been discovered by flashing “FC”, “FF” or “FP” on the display.

If these signs are 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.

Why is my electric blanket not working?

Electric blankets warm the bed through wires than run through the blanket. If your blanket is not working correctly, it’s most likely due to a loose connection between the plug, the cord, and the controller. Check the connections before throwing out your old electric blanket and buying a new one.

Then plug the power cord into a electrical outlet, turn the blanket “on” and set it to the highest setting. Wait for a few minutes (never more than 7), then place your hand between the folds to check if the blanket is heating. If not, you may want to try and reset it or contact Sunbeam’s helpline.
