    Sunbeam Electric Bedspread stopped heating. Anyone know what the element resistance should be?

    Finally located the patent document for the Sunbeam electric blanket and it did have a schematic. The explanation and schematic were hard to follow and left a lot out. I'm done fooling with the blanket. No more Sunbeam electric blankets for me.

    Sunbeam Electric Bedspread stopped heating. Anyone know what the element resistance should be?

    When temperature is set to "H" the voltage applied to the blanket elements is around 120 volts. The blanket still doesn't heat. Draw your own conclusions. I have looked unsuccessfully for information on what the resistance of the blanket elements should be but that information is no where to be...

    Sunbeam Electric Bedspread stopped heating. Anyone know what the element resistance should be?

    I have measures the voltage going to each of the four sections of the blanket and there is voltage present but the blanket is still not heating. I have concluded that blanket itself is defective. I noticed over 120 of the Sunbeam P85KQA controls used with this mattress on sale on eBay, which...

    Sunbeam Electric Bedspread stopped heating. Anyone know what the element resistance should be?

    My Sunbeam P85KQA Queen Electric Bedspread stopped heating on both sides. I opened the connector box at the bottom of the blanket and measured the resistance of the four elements in the blanket, all four measured between 2134 & 2250 ohms. I don't know if the readings are good or not. Does anyone...

    sunbeam electric blanket no heat

    Thank you for responding to my posting. I have experience repairing both electrical and electronic equipment. I tried using the patent number to find the schematic but was unable to find a one anywhere. I have never seen flat board mountd components bbeore like the ones on the board? A schematic...

    sunbeam electric blanket no heat

    I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my posting - Thank you. I measured the resistance of the four wires that attach to the blanket heating elements and the four readings were between 2134 and 2250 ohms, so it looks like the heating elements themselves are good. When I measured the...

    sunbeam electric blanket no heat

    I have a Sunbeam Electric Blanket that has stopped heatimg. I suspect that the blanket connector board has gone bad. Cannot find any information on the availabiliy of a replacement part? Would appreciate any information on the availability of a replacement part?
