Faulty electric blanket

Thats great thank you

Hi again ​@Abbs51,

I’ve sent you a private message, get back to me when you can 😁.

Ive received my replacement but again its on 9 on barely warm think its warmer to just have a couple of normal blankets is anybody else's like this.

They are not meant to get snywhere near as warm as an electric blanket for your bed does.

They are meant to be used when sitting or reclining on a chair or couch, just pulled around you or laid over you.

Have a look at the pictures here:

​@Abbs51 I can’t speak for the OVO-supplied ones, as I don’t have one myself. I do have a very similar electric throw though, and it doesn’t get that warm even when on the max setting of ‘9’.

I can speak for the OVO ones as I’ve got two versions myself.

The one from Purple Chameleon (roughly 2023) gets somewhat warm when you crank it to max, but the one from Exertis (2025) runs a bit cooler. The idea is really more a “top-up” than it is anything else.

If you find yourself getting absolutely desperate and you don’t mind spending a bit of money, stuff like Fourth Element X-Core, Fourth Element j2 and Fourth Element Arctics help a ton with my diving and can basically make just about anyone toasty (they’re designed for Antarctica after all!). If you’d rather not spend the money on Arctics, there are cheaper alternatives out there that work reasonably well and you can probably find a few divers selling their old sets on eBay (they’re machine washable too!). Caution: this stuff is crazy overpowered, please don’t sleep while wearing it as you risk overheating.

Admittedly, Arctics aren’t exactly fashion statements and will turn you into a generic black-clad ninja, but just about nothing beats them if your goal is to keep warm without racking up huge heating bills.

Recently recieved my free heated blanket, which i am very very greatful for, but I have used it twice and now it does not work will not turn on

No obvious signs of damage, tried changing the fuse which made no difference. Is there anything I can do about this??

Hey ​@Jessyboo4,

I’ve combined your topic with this thread so we can keep all our conversations about electric blankets together. You’ll find some troubleshooting steps in the best answer of the post. If those don’t do the trick, just let me know, and I’d be happy to help arrange a replacement blanket for you 😊

Hi ​@Chris_OVO 

I have tried everything ive read in this post already which is why I ended up here. 

It has been used only twice both times laid on my bed for no more than an hour to warm it up, it then got removed and stored away but noe just nothing at all

Hey ​@Jessyboo4,

I'll send you a private message to gather a few details so I can help arrange a replacement for you!
