The control unit feels very warm. The temperature is set at 85 degrees. Is this normal?

Yes, it is normal at first, then the unit will blaance out and cool down and then that will be the "normal".

When mine hits the temp I've set it at it has no warmth to it at all, but when heating up, it does have a noticeable warmth.
486705
Yes. If you check the control unit from time to time you'll see it's sometimes hot and sometimes just a little warm. This is how they work...when they work. You'll be fine!

My unit is kept at about the same temp as yours. It is a guest bedroom and doesn't get the constanttem change due to a humanbody or covers being on and off - however I checked it just now and -yes - it does feel rather warm. I honestly do not know if it feels like that all the time are just when it is actually warming the bed. As it cools down to room temperature and or below the currentwater temp - it will of course be activated and go into the warming mode. My guess is that is normal when it is in the heating mode. Mine has worked fine so far. Hope this helps.

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.

Unit has an auto changeover mode, that will automatically switch between heating and cooling modes as needed. However for that mode the temperature settings are controlled by the microprocessor based on popular heating and cooling comfort temperatures which can not be adjusted. If you select either of the heating or the cooling modes, then you can set the system for 85F and never have to touch again. It will restart even after a power failure with these settings. But you would need to change the mode manually between heating or cooling once a year between seasons.

Each time the unit is powered off, when powered back on (which you need to do manually), it starts off at 75 degrees. You then need to adjust it to your preferred setting.

So far, it seems to stay at 400 which is where I set it. The other day, I raised the heat & when I turned it on the next time, it went right back to 400.

To be honest my wife followed directions and set it up. Selected Preheat ok the controller and the bed gets toasty.

There is a dial on the outside of the unit. I started with the temperature high but kept reducing it until comfortable and that was the low setting.

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

Sounds like it may be the electric control unit may be defective (have a short in it) If still under warranty call Co and request new one--it is the temp control as the unit itself can tlerate heat--mine will go above 600 deg. Good Luck, Anne

Sounds like you have a bad control board. The temp can be set on both the front face of the unit and with the remote control. Take it back and get a new one!!

Mine is only about 6 months old, but I run mine at 91° and it has worked great so far. Maybe check that it is installed according to specifications? Or you may have a defective unit.

The temperature is incremental, not calibrated. That said, the lowest setting is just enough to take the chill off without building up heat (it cycles nicely)

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

generally, thermostat set too high ,above180try turning the stat down.hope this helps.

I never had occasion to check the unit for temperature, and having moved, no longer can do so. I am surprised at a report of heat, especially high heat. I suggest contacting Paradise directly as to a possible defect of this unit.

I have the model with the additional display module. I does get a bit warm. I called PI and discussed this with a tech. He had me measure the OHM rating of the actuator which employs a copper coil and is basically an electromagnet that is in the solenoid the allows power to pass thru the unit. He indicated the some heat is OK.

There's a high and low heat setting. I find the low heat setting to be the equivalent of cool.
