I am on my second Sunbeam electric blanket this Winter and it is doing
the same thing as the first one I had-- starts off for a couple of weeks
working correctly, then spends a week getting weaker and weaker where I
have to turn up the controller all the way and even then the heating is
uneven and weak. I was going to return this one too, but before I do, I
wanted to ask if anyone knew of a solution to repair this? Almost seems
like there is a circuit issue somewhere, maybe in the controller, but
who knows. If it were a cheap repair, I'd just keep the blanket after
the low cost repeatable fix. Thank you.

Pretty much same problem here. So just letting you
know you're not hallucinating.

In the interim, I've ordered a Softheat brand; supposed to be top rated
and also a higher pricetag, but we'll see (about double the price of the
Sunbeam for the twin size). Not exempt from its share of problems
either, although less than the Sunbeam. I kick myself for ditching my
original electric blankets-- they lasted 15 years with no issues.
