This electric blanket was not working. I was able to get working again with a very simple fix. It may not solve all issues but this may be a pretty common problem. I believe sunbeam has a version with basically the same control box.

Just fixed my blanket in 5 minutes…awesome! You saved me $100 dollars on a new one ❤ thanks so much ! 😊

@user-pf6nh8yu6e 9 месяцев назад

Thank you sooo much for posting this helpful repair. I searched the internet for a replacement control and the only one I could find for the type of blanket I have was a used one for $40.00. I could almost buy a brand new one for that amount. I did what you said and now my blanket works as good as new! Again, THANK YOU!!!

Thanks, Dakota i was taking this to the trash, heard about your (fix) worked perfectly. Used on a on spare bed for Hollidays, Love you Man? Tim, in Dallas,TX😊

Oh, you are a star! Thank you! I used a push pin to make the metal connections a little bigger. Now I am super toasty. Thank you again!

@phylismorelock549 Год назад

Thank you for saving me $100, for me all I had to do was stick something in the prongs and plug it back in and it worked. So glad for RU-vid videos...

@snobound7 Год назад

I have an identical blanket and your solution worked for me! Thank you and best regards!

I never had trouble with any of my electric blankets, I have a couple so I can change them and wash them, the only problem that I did have was it wasn't heating up and that problem was a break in the control cord, even though I could've of fixed it, I just got another control and that corrected it.

Often in the pigtail box on trailer you have to spead prongs to make contact and lights work on trailer.

@kevinwhiteley2742 Год назад

Thanks I appreciate the videoit worked like a charm and is good as new saved me buying a new one!!!!!

@damonvi013 9 месяцев назад

I seem to have an entirely different issue. My controller doesn't even turn on. Doesn't light up, even plugged in and switch turned on. I'm not sure why or how it broke, but it did. My hope is that its a bad solder point and not any of the resistors/capacitors on the pcb, cuz that's about the only things I have the tools for. I need to get a multi meter one of these days

@mikeymike9616 Год назад

Awesome hack! Thank you. How does one turn the Auto Shutoff on?

@kimjaspers3827 Год назад

Thanks for this. Did the control stop working because of this poor connection -- indicator light not working? Or did the control and indicator light appear fine but the blanket just wouldn't heat?

@lauragreene2001 Год назад

I'm trying to fix my blanket. It stopped working after about the second wash. Had this worked after you washed it?

@billplaisance6387 7 месяцев назад

I have a Biddeford heated, throw blanket that we bought back in December that all the sudden keeps shutting off to where you have to unplug it from the wall and from the blanket to reset it so I kind of doubt ours is having the same problem yours did so being that it’s like impossible to get a hold of somebody from the company, do you have any recommendations on what I should check to try to get my blankets to work again? Which, it’s not that it doesn’t work, it just doesn’t stay on, and it doesn’t matter what heat sending you have it set to, it just turns off like some kind of protection circuit is turning it off.

@warmsignal Год назад

Sadly, the fix didn't change anything for mine. The blanket only worked about 3 months. Never got a response from Biddeford warranty claims, they have a very underhanded way of making you register for a warranty and I kind of think it's probably not a real thing.

@summertime9629 Год назад

Exactly! We’ve been through 4 Biddeford electric blankets & last night two of the controllers just stopped working. There’s no doubt that much like Apples blatant Planned obsolescence essentially everything is infected with the same shenanigans, from all apple products, Samsung of course, our microwave, fridge & the dozen of barely used printers that of course won’t work. Anymore. 😠🤯

@Dabawar Год назад

If you call Biddeford directly, they will send you a new controller. No warranty registration needed.

@Nanticoke 7 месяцев назад

Hi. Thank u for the video. Mine doesn’t power on to begin with. So not sure how to test this. Did urs power on but not heat up? In that case it makes sense to do what u did. Do you have any suggestions? It was hardly used so I hate to throw it out just yet.

@DakotaBusy 7 месяцев назад

Correct. Mine powered on but didn’t heat. You could try to open up the control box and see if there are any issues. Maybe a fuse in there?? Just make sure it’s unplugged before you dive in!

@Nanticoke 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for your reply.

@dltorres17 Год назад

I tried this but it didn't work sadly. I get no continuity for the two center sections.

@jasonmitchell7677 2 года назад

Did that cause the light to not work as well?

@DakotaBusy 2 года назад

No. The light was still working for me. If the light is out, it’s probably something more complicated to fix.

@spaceted3977 Год назад

It's pronounced BIDDYFORD !!! Bideford !!!! Whenever I have an electric blanket that goes wrong it's always one of the very thin wires in the blanket !!!!! They don't take solder, you can't crimp them and you can't spot weld them, so they go in the bin and I buy a new one !!!! I buy ones that only have a double connector to the blanket and not four like yours !!!! Either Beurer heat pads or Dreamland, or my Livivo Electric Throw is OK, but the rest are Chinese Garbage that won't last a month !!!!

@summertime9629 Год назад

Your explanations of the pronunciations really honestly didn’t help clear up much of anything on that question- not that it matters cuz instead of knowing exactly how the garbage brand name is pronounced, whether it’s Bid-Dee-ford Biddeford, Hartford, Ford, or Sunbeam i believe they’re all as you stated, all CHINESE 🇨🇳 made garbage that’s especially made terribly I think because of the blatant-Planned Obsolescence. I & these giant bloated companies completely understand the “JUST THROW IT AWAY & BUT A NEW ONE “!!!!!!!!!!” 🤔 But that’s sorta exactly the opposite of the point because ppl don’t have gobs of $£€ to keep buying these things several times a year. I will look into your suggestions of the other brands. I’d never heard of them. But thank you nonetheless! !!!!!!!!!!!! 😆🙃😜!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❗️ LOL

@spaceted3977 Год назад

@@summertime9629 They are Brands sold on Amazon, and I was explaining when you take them apart, why they can`t be repaired if they go wrong !!!! Dreamland and Beurer have been around for Decades. If you won`t buy anything that`s made in China then you must live in an Empty Room and spend most of your time twiddling your thumbs !!!!
