I received this one today. Set it up as a free standing, plugged it in and turned on the push button. It's been over 6 hrs and no heat. Any ideas?

Be sure your wall outlet is not controlled by a switch and is hot test with a light.Be sure the units on / off switch on the leg is on should light up when on.If that all checks out ---- bad unit (dead on arrival) ship it back.

The button is really hard to activate because if the way it is sealed against getting wet. If it didn't light, it didn't go on. If you are certain you pressed the button, and something external to the towel warmer isn't the issue (like popping your GFCI), then you may have a defective unit. The heat it puts out is unmistakable.

It shouldn't take 6 hours. Mine heated up in about 5-10 min. The power button should light up as an indication that there's power to it. If all power sources checked out and it still doesn't work then you just got a defected one. Good luck.

bob, I have one but installed it in the summer. How warm is warm? did you try switching off your power for that outlet to make sure it is working? I also would switch out the 9v battery to make sure that there is not a short in the battery. good luck. chris

That sucks. When mine is on it's set to Cool/Low/62/No Ion. It still doesn't actually cool particularly well (as my review says), but it does stay on indefinitely. You could try "power cycling" it. Unplug for 10 minutes or so (to make certain the compressor is reset) then try again. Works for routers, lol. Also consider maybe its an electrical issue. Try plugging in to a different circuit or something? Or is something bouncing air back into it that could be causing it to get wrong air temps? I'm just throwing out ideas here. :)

Are you sure you wired it correctly? Maybe you mixed up the heating circuit with the cooling circuit? If that's not it, I'd get a new one. Why take a chance?

There are no led indicators, or other operational signals. The unit remains plugged in at all times, and does not generate any heat

I received one which did not work. Indicator light showed that unit was on: almost no heat came out (I think I wanted heat so bad I began to imagine the minimal amount which was coming out). I would not recommend this product.

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

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.

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.

1. Is it plugged in to a functioning outlet? 2. Is it turned on (light on after pushing top left button on control)?3) Have you selected a temperature (bottom right button on control)? If the answer to all three is positive, your blanket may be defective (mine works when all answers are affirmative)/

Mine is doing the same thing. I even cranked it all the way up to the highest setting. I can still touch the flat iron face without singeing my finger- barely warm. I haven't even had it for a year and already it's pooping out. I guess I'll never look for a discount on the internet for my electronics! I'd rather spend the extra to buy it at a store I know I can go to and get customer service or a replacement product. Sorry about your (and my) luck!

There is not much to the unit, so if the light is on and the dial is to high, you may just have got a faulty one. I would try another outlet, in case there is a minimal power issue on that (to be sure), otherwise if its not heating up on your first try, it maybe defective.

I just set it back and retap the keep warm setting and on button again. I think it only keeps warm till its removed then u have to set it again. It jsut won't need to heat up again.

Mine started sending heat immediately, but I don't use it often as it's in my utility room. When I turned it on I feltnheat right away while I stood underneath it.

I have incurred the same issue. What has worked for me is before turning unit on, make sure the heater and temp control are off. Once the fan starts moving, then turn on the heat and temp.

I've never noticed any heating at all even after several hours of use. I've left it on and the auto shut down comes on and the monitor is left cool.

It usually heats up under a minute. If you increase the heat and the display doesn't go up, you most likely have a defective unit.
