Heating pad won't turn on, it is flashing F. I tried unplugging from the pad but it still won't turn on. I've only had it for three months and it was over $30 at CVS pharmacy. I can't take it back because I am disabled with no transportation.

Have you tested the receptacle that the heater is/was plugged into, to make sure it's working and a circuit breaker hasn't been tripped?
If not, plug a lamp into the receptacle to see if it works. If it doesn't, check your home's circuit breaker panel for a tripped breaker. If you find one, make sure there's nothing still plugged into the offending receptacle and reset the breaker. Then, plug the heater in and turn it on. Does it trip the breaker again? If it does, there's some type of short in the electrical system of the heater. If it doesn't trip the breaker, but still doesn't work, return it to the place of purchase for a replacement. However, you must have your Proof of Purchase Receipt to do this.
Hope this helps solve your problem.

We have so many of these pads (now only) after the control part went to F1 and F2. My husband found the problem by taking the controler apart. Sadly what Sunbeam does is "pot" the wires. Meaning they put them into some plastic stuff to keep them from touching. But by doing this they leave the wire that makes the thing work to be the weak link that gets weakened even more by use and moving and adjusting the thing. It eventually breaks and he found there is no easy way to solder it back to the "potted" wires. It just leaves a short stub out of the pot. So if anyone knows how to purchase just the cord or fix it the heat pad would probably work just fine. So now we know what F1 and F2 actually means.

I have older sunbeam duel control matress pad. the control is simple with a dial that turnes for low or higher settings. it shows a red line that is small for low and gets thicker as the setting gets higher. there is a button for on and off. I set up the cover and turned on. the green on lite is flashing and there is no heat i do have it on high and it now will not turn off by the button.
