I do not have that problem with mine. It only takes a few seconds for mine to give any tempature.

This is easy. Do nothing. Just leave it in a general area to acclimate. I live in Phoenix and received the thermometer in the summer, so I just left in the air conditioned house for about 15 minutes.

Mine remembers the last used temp. I don't change that much. I altered one of the presets slightly for my favorite temp, although don't recall that I made it the startup default. But it pops up to that temp everytime I turn it on. Just checked it again for you simply altering it on the fly, turned off, and it popped right back to the new (last set) temp. Fine unit; don't know what I did without it.

Hi,Mine first did that when it was first installed. The temp was set to high. I unplugged the unit and not turn it back on until the next morning and it has been great since then.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

Did you make sure the temp +/- is set to the temp you want? Every time my power goes off or o unplug it, it resets itself and I have to reset the temp to blow cooler. Also, there is a setting to blow just room air around. Make sure you aren't accidentally on that. Download a booklet and see where the settings should be to blow cool. These things don't have freon, do they??? If so, it could need coolant. When you cleaned it, could you have a loose connection inside somewhere? I've never had trouble with mine, like others seem to. But usually it is because people aren't draining theirs, but trying to use it with it plugged up. And even though they say they'll work that way, they don't. The water must drain. I really love this thing, but using it is complicated.

Hey Larry, When I turn off the A/C manually while it is on, it does not turn ON automatically when the on tab comes around. You have to turn it ON manually.

You can push the on and off button and hold it in for about 4 or 5 seconds. It will shut off after a 4 or 5 count. Also turning it on some times hold in for 4 or 5 seconds and it will turn on all the way. Hope this helps you, I found this out by accident.

You could use a timer, but only to turn it off before the 10 hours expires. We turn it on manually about 10 minutes before bed time on pre heat low. The directions cover multiple models, so you would have to check the details.

I could be an overheating issue.....when left in the on position for awhile it generates so much heat it turns itself off. I now have one that wont stay on more than 4 seconds on high and around 30 seconds on low..then the overheating sensor shuts if off. It seems once this happens it will always shut off instantly going forward.

I found the temp to be off on mine. I used a remote thermometer to set the correct temp to 135 for an hour. This worked fine. I did let it warm up for 15 to 20 min

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. = )

The manufacturer said in the instructions that it's ok to turn it on 30 minutes before you go to bed. I used to turn mine all the way up, then turn it down when I got into bed after 30 minutes or less. As I mentioned in my review, I noticed some mild scorching on and around the pillow area. I'm uneasy about using it now. When I do, I only turn it to 1 or even 0-1. I still use it as a mattress pad, but I have to be chilled to the core before I turn it on. I'm not making any accusations. I'm just saying use a little caution. My in-laws' woke up to discover their electric blanket in flames, so I'm a little gun shy.

did you ever get your steamer to work. I have to keep hitting the reset button. It only last a couple of minutes and the steam quits again. Someone said I may need a new thermostat. Just wondering if you found a fix or tossed it!

I had mine plugged in for a few months - only using it occasionally - and one night when I wasn't using it, started flashing red in the middle of the night - it didn't turn the heat on while it did this. It didn't stop when I used the control so I unplugged it and replugged it in and it's been fine. Nothing in the manual about that. If it does it again I will call the manufacture.

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

There should be an evident change in temperature no longer than 30 minutes after activation. Please try a higher temperature setting during the next use. If there is no change in temperature, please contact us!
