My wife and I own a dual-controlled electric blanket.
It normally works great however, lately the control that adjusts the temperature on her side after 2 - 3 mins starts flashing and never warms her side up. My side (which branches off her control) works just fine.
While it is flashing - I can't turn that control on or off. I have to unplug the entire blanket and then plug it back in.
Any ideas as to what is wrong?

SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN WIRE OR SHORT IN HER CONTROL. BUY A NEW ONE IS FASTEST AND CHEAPEST.

Sounds like her control,or her side of the blanket has a short in it. This type of control has a thermal overload in it,that heats up,cuts off,then resets when it's either unplugged,or cools down.
If possible,try unplugging just her side of the blanket at the foot of the bed,if it doesn't have a integrated plug. If the control works OK then,her side of the blanket has a short in it.
If so,get a new blanket, before she disowns you,as they are almost unrepairable.

I had that problem and called the manufacturer. They said to unplug that side, disconnect power, plug the blanket back in and restore power. It worked.
My guess is that it was a bad connection. You might be sure the connector fits tightly

apparently that no exact study has been performed on the difficulty. On looking the internet, that is considered that one human being had felt heart palpitations even as utilising electric powered blanket. Your case should be taken up through the buyer businesses,

The blanket needs to be replaced. Never mess with electric blankets. Why not resort to body heat??

The bed would be a VERY bad place for a fire to start, especially if your in it. Buy a new one, throw the other in the rubish.

really, i just like the question, and i have never seen anything like this... but it makes me think of christmas light problems.... see if there is a fuse you need to replace

I say throw it away before you both wake up fried. It's way cheaper than a funeral.
