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.

I'm on my third blanket. I liked the first controller (better shape) and
still use it. It's the blankets that are failing.
We just use ours to pre-warm the bed - must be 8 or 10 years old now
- actually likely older than that - and still working fine. It is a
sunbeam queen size We only replaced the old one because a double size
doesn't work too well on the queen.
