How long after overheating does it take to start working again?

I wouldn't worry about overheating unless you are doing an enormous amount of shredding at one time. I use a Shredder Lubricant Sheet (just run one through the shredder and it lubricates and makes it run smoother and more efficiently) once a month and the machine runs very smoothly without overheating.

The one time that happened to me I just waited for approximately 30 minutes and resumed without issues.

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

It takes about 10 to 15 minutes maybe 20 depending on the temperature you want to heat up then let the sweat begin. I hope that helps. Thanks

the heat can be reactivated as long as it's within the usual 18 to 20 hours of use. All you have to do is shake it a couple of times and then let it rest under a pillow or blanket undisturbed for about 10 minutes. This can be repeated as many times as you need to. If you or anyone else has any more questions feel free to ask me ....my mother uses these every day and we've become something of an expert on the subject! Have a happy day everyone!

I had mine on for an hour or so, and it got hot, but did not overheat. Sorry, Wish I could help.

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

As soon as the cooling cycle stops. I think that is usually about ten minutes

Yep, mine has been overheating also. I thought it was the keyboard cover that came with it, but after throwing that away, my computer has still been seizing up so I just took the cover off today and hope I'll have no more problems.

Yes. If you check the control unit from time to time you'll see it's sometimes hot and sometimes just a little warm. This is how they work...when they work. You'll be fine!

I have had that problem and find just unplugging it and then plugging it in again makes it come back to life. It has not been a good heating pad.

I have had that happen but not often. I figured it must get "overheated" and it needs a cool down period. It will come back on after a short time. If this is the case--it's really a safety factor.

If I understand correctly, you are saying after you replace the batteries with two new batteries AND you run the unit for another long period of time, the unit will not overheat anymore?Let me try again when I get the replacement. (I contacted Flip and they offered a replacement. So, I requested a exchange from Amazon.)

Absolutely NOT. Unplug when done and allow up to 2 hours to reheat and cool to usable temperature.

Thats what happened to mine! Altho, I didnt move....my cooling system stopped working within a couple months of me buying the machine. Its not worth it.

I've only had this happen once, and luckily I got home from work not too long afterwards, so it will still warm. But no, it did not reset. When I came in, all the lights on the front were flashing like it does when you first plug it in and have yet to set anything.

I treated some electronics with it and they were fine, but I didn't treat a computer. I'm not sure if that would be okay or not. Loading it is very quick and easy, you just want to make sure there is space around stuff so that the heat gets to everything. It takes about 6 or 7 hours, about 5 or 6 to get up to temperature and then another hour that everything should stay at that temperature. Hope this helps.
