Ron when you turn it on the timer should time off if it is working if it does it could be the heating element either way cost wise get a new working one really gives returns a great hot dog

1 if the fan works , needs new cooler unit. If fan doesn't work and cooler fins are chill, needs fan. If it doesn't get cool or hot might just be the switch. Good Luck

Because it is a two stage switch I would contact the company for a new switch. If you do repair it as the others suggest you are breaking the case integrity and any mosture will creep in. Delphie

Fortunately mine has been working fine since receiving it. my suggestion would be to send it back for an exchange or a refund.

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.

Please check the on/off switch (see instructions). If that does not work, please contact the manufacturer info on the box or instructions.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

The switch is not waterproof. I guess you could try to find a waterproofing cover or improvise with a flexible membrane. Make sure the heater elements (and all connectors) are protected from the moisture as well.

I had the same problem. I first replaced the over protection switch and the hi limit switch. heater then came on and as you have it just ran hot even in air dry, so I replaced the thermostat and the heater still remain hot and brightly glowing. I talked to a repairman and he said to check the heater for a short to ground. It was shorted. Replaced the element that only had one of the ceramic element holders broke. This fixed my problem. I hope this helps.

It could be the switch. Knife switches sometimes have this problem. I have seen brand new switches that have this problem whether it is switching a fan or a light. Try wiggling the switch and see if you can feel it click. Try backing out the device screws that fasten the switch to the wall box. Sometimes when switches are installed they are in a bind due to conductors attached, etc..

Mine gets warm, but not enough to turn off the light. It sounds like a defect in materials or workmanship. I'd return it for a replacement. Good Luck.

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

What is it doing? One of my controls doesn't shows a constant light. It lights up and then that goes out. The mattress still heats. Other than that, I would say to check all the connections.

Might be something wrong with your unit. Ours heats up in a matter of minutes

I've never had that problem. Mine has worked fine since I got it. You might want to check and make sure its not getting to hot.

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

Mine still works fine. Maybe it has dirt in e switch. I would try a good cleaning around the switch and see if you can free it up.
