Default Electric Blanket Problem Solved

I bought an electric blanket, used it for 2 months and it stopped heating
up. I swapped controllers with another of the same blanket and isolated the
problem to the controller. I opened it up, didn't see anything obviously
burned, etc., and was not able to troubleshoot it without a schematic.

It was after the 30 day return period and the store wouldn't take it back.
Contacted the maker and could not get through by email or phone.

So I bought another blanket just like it, swapped out the controller and
returned the new blanket for a full refund. Such is life in the new world
of Chinese-made crap.


Hmmm... and you want to lay a *sheet* of "Chinese-made crap" WIRES over
your body while you sleep???
