Where does cord plug in to the blanket? We have one that plugs in at the bottom and my wife can't reach the control without almost getting up.

Mine plugs in on the colored side of the banket. There is a rectangle shaped outlet on the balnket.

No. I have a full size blanket and it has one control, which is connected to the blanket. I have not had any issues with this--works fine. I keep the control within reach so I can turn the blanket down easily. It gets toasty warm.

Hey Bart, sorry to hear about the tragic end to your cord but there are two options. It sounds like it wasnt a warranty issue so you have two options. Contact the manufacturer who's info should be listed with the manual. But I would contact amazon because their customer service has always been outstanding when ever I've had to deal with them. See if they have any returns that may have had problems with the blanket but not the cord. Since its a return or "used" item you might be able to purchase it.

The blanket needs to be reattached. Unplug from wall. Then unplug wire from blanket. Replug again. Make sure connection is correct.

Hi,Instructions recommend that the blanket be placed with the bottom connector on top. For me however one of the controllers did not work at all so I returned the blanket. I cannot validate if it is ok to flip it over.

I suggest you unplug all connections and make certain that each control is on the proper side of the blanket and that no electric cords are between the mattress and box springs but loose under the bed. Replug and try the heating controls. If they do not start to heat, press the preheat button in the center and see if that helps. Usually that preheat button will get the blanket started if everything is plugged in properly and you have enough electricity to run electric blankets. Hope this helps!

The switch is on the left at the bottom and lights to indicate it is on. The cord exits the right bottom and would be very difficult to re-route out a leg. You could cut the plug off and wire it direct.

There is a book with directions but it's fairly straight forward. Plug in the unit to the blanket. Run the wires under the bed to the area where the controllers are needed. Push the one on the left. It will say L for Low. Push again for higher settings. Push the one on the right to use the Pre-heat setting. You'll know within 5 minutes if it's heating up.

My husband and I have two super single beds and have no problem with the cords. Any bed bigger maybe. It would depend were the outlet for the control is. The closer to the side of the bed the better.

I haven't had the blanket for very long and I usually do not use it at the higher settings so the controllers have stayed cool. I also turn them off as soon as I am out of the bed. So I don't know if the controllers of your son in law were faulty initially or if they got that way with constant use. It could be an issue to consult with the manufacturer through the internet. Gadgets that convert household current to low voltage to charge say cell phones or rechargable cell batteries do get hot if left plugged in for very long periods of time after charging. They usually recommend to unplug them after use. I haven't had the blanket for very long and I usually do not use it at the higher settings so the controllers have stayed cool.

I had the same issue. I found this video on YouTube which helped me out. Be careful not to pull the cord too far when starting. I pulled my daughters pull start all the way out the first time. :) Good luck!!

The cord is very short (at least on ours) and barely reaches. My daughter is constantly frustrated and sometimes switches to her right hand.

One cord. The plug into the pad is at the bottom of the mattress pad and reaches all the way up the underneath of the bed to my wall outlet. But still two separate temp control dials. Buy it! You won't be sorry. I have one on every bed in my house and nobody falls asleep on the couch anymore!

There are two white molex plugs at the bottom of the bed, one on each side of the (king-sized) blanket. The cords run underneath the bed and (for ours) plug in to the blanket at the foot of the bed about where the mattress meets the box spring (where the foot of the blanket hangs down). The foot-board of our bed hides the cords from view; otherwise I'm not sure how you would keep from seeing the cords. During the summer months, we just unplug the blanket from the bottom of the bed and remove it, but we leave the cords hidden under the bed so we can easily reattach the blanket anytime we need it.

There is a cord from the base to the outlet and mine is right above the bathroom outlet. I have the cord tied up so there is no long cord dangling around getting in the way. Works perfect!Y

It's on the left side, toward the bottom (left side if you're facing the front/control panel). There's a little door and the cord can be stored in there with the door closed if you're not using it----or you open the door and pull the cord out if you want to plug it in. This heater has been working very well for me----I have a large bedroom and even leaving the master bath door open, it has no problem heating the room overnight.
