it will not heat up, is there a reset somewhere?

There is no reset that I am aware of. Does the control display turn on, indicating that it has power. As a safety feature, the power cord is held in place by magnets. It very easily can become detached, but still appear to be properly in place.

If the heating unit is not installed exactly correctly, the fryer will not heat up.

Does it power on, i have never had any problem except that the break away plug in come apart very easly

Page 9 of the manual has instructions for resetting. The reset is on the front of control panel below the controls.

Check the capacity of the circuit you have it plugged into. This needs to be on a 20A circuit as it will draw up to 17A, depending on your power supply. That is, BY ITSELF on a 20A circuit.The MINIMUM current draw will be 15A and that is already too much for a 15A circuit, you will likely blow the circuit. If it doesn't blow the circuit as soon as you plug it into a 15A circuit (and turn it on), there is something wrong with your wiring.

Sounds silly be but when the cool button is on it stays cool (unlike some that go back to hot when you stop pressing, it's almost more like an on and off button)try pressing up and let it run for 10-15 secs. If that's not the problem try contacting the company they are really good at sending new ones are sending free replacement pieces. Good luck!!

Try holding down the reset button for 5 seconds (I believe it has one) with the unit plugged in and while unplugged.

that has not happened here with mine. Every item has come out perfect. I'm thinking you have a defective one that does not heat up enough.Oh Dear, now that is a hassle.

Do you mean your's won't heat up or are you afraid it will ignite? Be sure your thermacell isn't empty and screwed on tight. OR it could be the Cordless that isn't working right. I had to replace the cordless a couple years ago because it was worn out...could that be the problem? First check the cell. Good luck.

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.

Mine does that also sometimes. I am very unhappy with this product. Half the time it doesn't heat up either. This is the second one I have purchased and I will never buy another one again. I am going to Walmart to get another one. I just bought one from Walmart at a way lesser price and it works great.

Mine has also broken after less than 5 months. Started only heating for a few minutes before shutting down. Now, does not heat at all :(

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.

I have not had this problem and do not know if there is a reset button. Have you checked with the manufacturer? Let me know how this will be resolved. Good luck. It is a good machine and very well worth the money.

You may need to do a master reset. If that doesn't work you may have to call the company. Or it's defective and you may need to return.

Turn the knob on the front of the unit to the right to the highest setting (8). The unit should heat up and stay on for longer. Adjust to your sealing needs downward from that highest setting. If you have already done this and the unit does not heat up, then I would call the mfg and or Amazon for a replacement under warranty. Hope that helps.

WE don't have a problem with ours, we just plugged it in and it works.Give it a couple days, seems like it took a few days to heat up it doesn't get hot.

I'm not sure. If you have it plugged in and sitting upright, then the red light on the handle column will light up. I think I recall the directions saying something about waiting a few minutes for it to heat. If you are doing all those things & still having a problem, I'd contact the company.

mine too, and it doesn't keep heating, it just stops but the fan keeps running so you think it's working, then look at your food and its not cooking any more. mine is getting tossed, worst product I've bought in years.

It should heat up on either open or closed. You might want to contact the seller.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.
