I just got my new heating pad. All it does is flash F2. Last night was the first time to use. Why is it doing this? I do not have a manual for the pad "misplaced". Tried to download and it will not. Please help.

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 ::

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

i think from sitting in the box for a year, the material can smell, form its first time usage.
I suggest you put the pad on or in a baking dish on the stove..plug in and see if the smell burns off. I think it will.

if not return to Sunbeam (800) 435-1250

Hard to say without being there. Two things to check though. First be sure the new board is the correct one. Many times parts will change and replacements will have special instructions for retrofitting.
The other thing to check is be very sure the plug on the new board lines up with the receptor. On a multi pin plug if the pins don't line up you can get just the problem you describe. I hope this helps, sorry it can't be more.

Hi You have a bad touch pad , there maybe a be a button stuck in , try running your fingers over all the touch buttons but i think the touch pad will need to be replaced as always remove the power before taking it a part

I had to clean the contacts in the control panel to fix my same problem.

check door switch very close

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.
