I'm assuming your blanket is no longer under warranty and since Ocean State Job Lot is just a sales outlet they will most likely not be able to help you but you might call and ask just to be sure or try asking for information at this site:
www.thecompanystore.com/contact-us.html

If your controller has just stopped working you might want to check out this site to see if you can get it to working again:
www.hunker.com/.../how-to-reset-a-sunbeam-electric-blanket

If you so longer have your controller then you're probably in trouble as some controllers for brand name items can sometimes be found on eBay or other sites but I did not see any Westerly controllers shown anywhere.

Here is a site that claims to have all brands so contact them but you may need your blanket model number.

Another suggest would be to contact your local Sears Service Center as they service almost all brands and they have a great list of generic items that will fit many brands. They have found replacements for me and usually less money. Worth a try maybe. They may need to see your blanket to be sure of size/etc. but call first as some stores are not open right now.

I can only think of one other kinda far fetched thing to try but if you're desperate??
Place a 'wanted ad' on social media sites that you belong to as well as Craigslist, FreeCycle, NextDoor, Facebook Marketplace.
Also, be sure to check thrift stores as you may find a similar one to try (I see them in stores for $2 or less so not much to loose just to try it for size/etc.

Unfortunately, they are not selling the exact controller online that is for your blanket. I do see they sell the new blankets online that come with the controller. There are a few shops online that do sell generic controllers but this one is a long shot. Some of the universal controllers will work with the blanket but most of the time they don't work at all. It appears that your blanket is out of warranty and therefore you can't take it back to the market t get a replacement for the one you have. I found a few that have helped me in the past on this website.

www.hygienesuppliesdirect.com/.../replacement-controllers. I have also ordered some from them thinking they would work and they plug in fine but won't work with the blanket I have. The problem I did find out was the plug or the voltage of the controller. That is what was hard to find some replacement ones that worked for me. I see the new blankets are on sale this weekend for Black Friday but the price is a bit pricy. I would try and find a controller at this website first. If you have some issues you can always contact them for some help.

It's going to be a long shot. :( I couldn't find any replacements. Might be cheaper to buy a new one.

I know that has to be frustrating. This is probably a long shot, but your controller may be here:

Take the blanket to a hardware store. They might be able to order a replacement controller for you.
