Hello all, I'm new here but seems the place to ask. I have a sunbeam electric blanket that is not heating. I do know about electronic repair and testing but I don't know much about electric blankets, this is the first one I ever owned. I tested the blanket for continuity with my multi meater and the blanket seems fine. The controller lights up and stays on but don't heat. I tested the control and its putting out power as well, but if its not connected to the blanket it goes into fault and the light flashes, but tested it said it was still 50.4 volts. But what do yall think?? I was going to buy a new controller for about 25 bucks to see if that was the issue. And before I hear new blankets are 30 bucks this is a queen size that is 87 bucks. So from what I said.. You think its the control unit? I took out the connector where it plugs in, on it are 3 inline resistors and a ( I want to call it a diode) but 2 of the resistors wouldn't give me a reading. But the others seemed fine, think I should replace those first?? I might work on it tomorrow so if I do ill post some pics of the small board to show what I mean. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
