Playing music over your voice at any volume when you're addressing someone is fucking ridiculous. These millennials (even if they have good information) do it deliberately to cause chaos and alienation (it gives them more views). Any respectful person would have the courtesy to turn the music OFF when they're talking to someone, especially if you are talking for almost 10 minutes and the other person is just listening. This is a professional channel too!!!!!!!!!! These people have No Respect.

Yeah, LOL! I had Elite Dangerous running when I watched this, and I alt-tabbed back in to see what was happening before I realized it was the video background music.

I was searching for a "CONFIRMATION" that the elements (wires) inside an electric blanket were, indeed, DC and not AC... (I'm OLD SCHOOL electronics!), but I stopped reading all the comments cuz they were only interested in the MUSIC! Who the hell CARES about the "music loop"!? Get OVER it! I didn't even NOTICE the music cuz my main interest was the CIRCUIT! (btw...I DID notice the switch, too, not being turned on...) BUT...back to the circuitry...all I needed to know was if the wires inside a blanket were ac or dc. My answer came during the visual once the cover was off. AC in, dc OUT! SARAH...any electronics enthusiast can ignore the "music loop"! I was impressed by your "KNOWLEDGE" of electronic components. I learned the resistor color code in high school vo-tech in '79...those resistors are 100 ohm, gold makes it +- 20%, and the SIZE of them makes them (visually) "higher wattage"...I'm not sure what the last gold band represents...it HAS been over 30 years since I was in high school! Lol!

Love tear down and fix videos but I can't stand this "music".

Most the failure of the newer generation heater blankets, especially sunbeam brands, occur at the plug connector, there is a safety circuit which has a few intentional under-rated parts, this is worsen by the fact they send high current pulses during start up which stresses the already under-rated components, and if I remember one of them is a custom made IC which isn't available for sale anywhere. They usually last until right outside of warranty, like most modern designed products, especially car parts.

TURN OFF THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!

Stopped 1.51 min in bec the music took over your voice and I could not here what you were saying. Would be great if you could remake

I have the same controller on my blanket. Your video was helpful. R22 on my board was scorched so badly you couldn't read the color bands. The resistor is still within tolerance but I can see that the lamp is blown. Oddly the fuse did not blow. I would prefer to have a working lamp but whatever.

Yet another one who gave up because of the music. The hollow "wind" sound was just too much. The bass blips etc were great. Check out Collin Cunningham to see how it should be done

In the shot where it was not working the switch was turned off

Seems to be an interesting video, but i must stop watching because of the horrible music.

I can't figure out how to remove the fuse...

I can tell you what causes these fuses to blow and the Control to stop working. These blankets have a 10 hour Auto Shut Off built in. But if (at that 10 hour time)you turn the blanket off and turn it right back on before you allow it to cool down it will always blow the fuse. You have to leave the blanket off for hours prior to turning it back on and the fuse won't blow. Great video always nice to see a pretty girl with brains.

If your reason for the fuse blowing is true ( I would like to see some evidence, though) your comment may be the only thing of value in this video. (BTW yes, she is pretty, but that just moves the video up in the youtube ranking over more helpful videos by uglier people.)

I really wanted to see how you replaced the fuse. I have had 4 bidford blankets and they all made me very happy and snuggly, for a few months. And then the controllers crapped out on every one I bought. I just bought another one off of ebay, I'm crossing my fingers, winter is almost here in snow hell upper michigan. Life is so much better when you have a nice warm fuzzy blanket, a bowl of ice cream, a fun show to watch while eating your ice cream, and my dogs.

How do you know that the thermostat is going to work properly without letting it stay on a lower-ish setting other than high ? BTW, the tube light is a neon lamp

I would bet money that you're right. They are most likely current sense resistors. There's just no reason to have 1 gigaohm resistors in there and they certainly wouldn't need to be that big if they had that much resistance.

After my own heating blanket broke with normal use I scoured reviews and it seems like it's very, very common. It's just the way they are constructed. For example one of the wires inside can break when using the blanket like normal. I would say they are not worth getting as they are quite expensive. They need to be constructed in a very different way for it to be worthwhile. Thanks!

I've had two of these Biddeford electric blankets, and they have both blown the same resistor, and from what I hear about electric blankets, it sounds like the electronics are often very poor quality to begin with. It sure would be nice if someone actually made an electric blanket that didn't burn out, and instead just turned itself off when it detected overcurrent, or shorts.

Terrible background music next time do it in silence you have a nice voice and do not need it.

That music loop is terribly irritating.....good video although the fuse locate....Remove and replace should have been included in your video.....So I am sure a lot of viewers felt like the video left us hanging.....If the music didnt cause the viewers to ditch the video earlier in the video ....which the music is pretty bad.....Having somebody scraning their fingernails down a chalkboard and having that loop in the background would be less irritating. :) awful music loop....Good video even though it is incomplete....Important parts got skipped over :) I dont think the "OMG....ITS WORKING YAY" segment at the end was necessary :) It wasn't funny and seemed forced acting rather than serious for real :)

I looked at the board and everything's good. The light turns on, but it doesn't get warm.

Light works on mine. Blanket doesn't heat. It's a dual zone queen with 2 controllers. One controller doesn't work for either side. Might take a look inside.

I see a lot of comments on the music, but what I find annoying is that this wasn’t really a fix. The light doesn’t light up as expected, but the blanket is mysteriously getting hot, and you “think” something may have previously tripped the blanket’s fuse, but didn’t resolve if it’s perhaps the wiring in the blanket. This blanket isn’t repaired. It’s a safety hazard.

Yes, great job Sarah, keep up videos like these, and make sure to check that thing for bedbugs! :O If we could get different music, that would be perfect.

please get rid of your sound track...

Its a neon lamp. The kind they used to use in night lights.

You seem like you know what you're doing but you neglected to show HOW you got the 2nd part (dial, power button etc.) of the cover off.

Just watched this other video kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZZN-sNqvnNXPirg.html and makes me concerned that there could be a problem in the blanket that repairing the fuse won't help. I'm concerned it could be a safety issue. You might want to watch this before using that blanket long term.

It’s important to know why the fuse blew in the first place.

Eight minutes to tell us you bought a used blanket that needed a new fuse?

I wish I could send you guys my sun beam heated blanket way newer two controls led all the electronics seem to work fine minus the blanket not heating up I’m on a mission to make this work now!!!

I'm saying like damn I wish was that heating blanket after u fixed it up. I'd keep u warm all through out the night... And ur hair... wow😍 O great vid btw

These blankets have a 5 year warranty. I just returned mine with no problem. I didn't even know where it was bought, I just used the serial numbers.

How did this music make it past QC?

3:39 an LED huh? :D 3:59 that's more like one ohm... But close enough. 7:35 I believe, that's kinda what's supposed to happen when it's turned off... And finally 8:06 broken neon bulbs don't short stuff and therefore don't burn fuses, because there is no electrical connection in the neon bulb (also they usually have a relatively large resistance resistor in series which would likely burn before the fuse would).

A neon lamp (also neon glow lamp) is a miniature gas discharge lamp. The lamp typically consists of a small glass capsule that contains a mixture of neon and other gases at a low pressure and two electrodes (an anode and a cathode).

Wrong. HINT: A mercury switch in a heating blanket would serve no reasonable purpose thus makes no sense whatseover. Are you really that dumb?

No way would you have 1G ohm resistors at that power rating on only 220v where they couldn't raise a sweat (maximum 0.00005 watts !) - is that a thermal fuse over the top of them ? They probably form part of the capacitor dropper supply for the control electronics. I just repaired a different controller where it was a 100 ohm resistor that failed - albeit much smaller one - marked somewhat optimistically as "5 watts" ... and as others have said, the music is massively distracting - and I consume electronic music on a permanent drip ...

Constructive criticism: for an instructional video the background music's key note shouldn't be static. I'm really interested (freezing cold) to see if I could learn something for diagnosing my electric blanket error but I'll come back lil later. Maybe I'll try a mute/captions combo.

Audio super SUCKS. !!!!!!!

Loved this video, despite the music. It was too loud and added nothing.

It's probably a wire inside that snapped from all the bending happened to mine

Like so many have said B4 me nice video shame about the music 😣

Sorry, but what is the point if you didn't fix it? The fuse always goes on these things as a result of another component failing. I was hoping she would "find" the other component!

**Why not leave cover off and test new fuse.**So U can see it power up and see any other possible burns or board issues?**Music was fine.
