Blanket Warmer Troubleshooting

We wish all products could run perfectly forever, but sometimes they need repairs. If you're experiencing issues with your MedWurx blanket warmer, this might help you.

Is the blanket warmer failing to heat?

Sometimes the problem is as simple as a warmer being stuffed with too many blankets, needing cleaned of lint, or needing the temperature reset (see instructions in your manual).

However, another possible culprit is the heat strip. The heat strip can be found in the back inside panel of the warmer. When tested with an ohmmeter, it should read somewhere in the 50s. If it does not, it needs to be replaced.

Can you hear the fan running? If you don’t, that may be the source of your trouble.

Does the warmer's controller read a different temperature than another thermometer? You may need a new controller and/or sensor probe.

If this hasn’t helped you, or you need a new copy of a manual, part numbers and pricing, or have any other questions, call us at 800-860-4716 and ask for blanket warmer support.
