F2 showing on 122647 heat pad - Sunbeam 722 Auto Shut-Off Heating Pad Heater

Hello, Pat -

I can only find that the F2 error code means there is "a problem;" not what the problem is.

I suggest you go to this Sunbeam web page for your model of heating pad:
http://www.sunbeam.com/pain-relief/back-and-spine/sunbeam-microplush-body-shaped-heating-pad-with-digital-lcd-controller/000828-511-002.html

You should see a link for "Live Chat" on the right side of the page. Click or tap on "Live Chat" to text with a Sunbeam Customer Service Representative. He or she should be able to explain the F2 error code and what can be done to correct it.

Best wishes.

Crimped the ends of the heating pad cord where it attaches to the pad a little then did the plug and unplug three times while holding down the on-off button and that did the trick

You should be able to get the manual from Sunbeam or here

Here's a discussion on the issue ::

F2-E0 - Shorted Touch Pad (Keypad) - Check the connection between the touch pad (keypad) and control board (clock) to make sure it is secure.
Select the 'cancel' function and wait 60 seconds.
If error code reappears then replace the touch pad, or touch pad and control board (clock) if all one assembly.

F3 is Open oven temperature sensor circuit.
F4 Shorted oven temperature sensor circuit .
F7 Component failure.

To fix this you need to read oven temperature sensor circuit at oven temperature sensor ( approx 1000 ohms at room temp); check for cut or pinched wire or loss of contact, if wirings are ok, then replace the probe.

Same F2, quick off problem here. Then I noticed that the gray plug on the power cord was not completely flush with the connector on the pad. I shoved them together until there is no gap. The unit's worked perfectly since then.
