I've turned the power button on for the heat press but the temp gauge doesn't come on. Any ideas?

When I got my machine, I turned it on, and was unable to set both the temp and the timer. It turned out it was simply broken. I ended up returning it and they sent me a replacement that works beautifully. It might just be defective.

Are you hitting the + button until it reaches your desired heat temperature? If nothing happens, return it!

Make sure the heat pump cord to system was installed properly. When you add new batteries, make sure you hit the button for "HEAT" as it flashes.

The test tab is located in the same place as the thermostat which is in the plastic near the plug end. You should be able to see a switch to press (not a button but a switch underneath the plastic). If this is being depressed it would keep the system activated so you can't have it compressed with tape or anything.

Make sure it is not locked. Look at the switch on the left side. Make sure the switch on the left side is up and then hold the power button until it turns on.

I also had a display go completely unresponsive. You can do a seach online on how to reseat the ribbon cables to the unit , as that might help, or if you have two systems, you can swap displays to get the heat going for the affected zone.Ultimately I ended up ordering a new unit to solve my problem.

Have you tried pushing the heat switch on the back of the unit to the "on" position?

Press the button at the top - pressing the top button to get the temp to change is not a soft/light touch - hold the heater and use firm pressure when pushing the button.

Just reset the button to re-heat a 2nd time. But be careful. It gets really toast. ;)

I had a similar issue just the other day. It seemed the water temp wasn't moving. I unplugged it, let the heater sit (in the water) unplugged for about 20 minutes. Then plug it in again. I think the heater needs time to get acclimated to the water temp, before the filament or whatever starts cooking. Give that shot before you start slamming the heater against the wall. = )

You would have to manually press. Maybe the higher end model that lets you select the exact temperature could be rigged up.

Make sure your bedsread is heavy enough to hold the heat. also if you are not in the bed and put your hand on it it won't seem warm. Mine was warm enough but the controller kept blinking and shutting of the heat. I replaced it with a Biddeford which doesn't seem very warm. Oh well.

There are two other things to check...first is the timer control assy. If this fails to work you will get no heating. And the next and last would be the heating element. Do you use this alot? How old is your unit? Feel free to send me more questions if you need further help as I'm an power plant engineer by trade.

Did you try without extension to check that the unit works?It only turns on at low temp.Then check the extention cord and the wall plug. It has to be one of the 3, or the temp is too high. Good luck
