How do I find replacement controllers for WestPoint home heated blankets?
By Bart B
Amazon has many controllers for the WesPoint blanket. You'll need to know the model of yours in order to find the right one. Here are a few of them on Amazon - www.amazon.com/
Where do I go to get a replacement power cord for an electric blanket?
Sadly, thrift stores separate them to make more money. I say shame on them but whatever.
That said, you can take your blanket with you and test the cords they have to see if they fit and then plug them in to see if they work. I have done this several times and had success each time.
eBay has a lot of these listed but you will need the make/brand and model number to be sure you are buying the correct one for your blanket. Sometimes that information can be found on the tag but if not then you may have to try your local thrift stores as some of them still have them.
Search under name/brand and # - eBay has them listed under electric blanket cords (or controls) or replacement cords controls:

The cord you plug into the adapter on my electric blanket falls out with every move. I have a throw blanket and the cord just will not stay attached. I tried to return it but had lost the receipt so they would not allow me to exchange it.
I do not want to waste money on another one because seems like they would all do this. Any advice on how to fix it?
I would try to take some masking tape and wrap around the plug-in and then push the other piece over it. The tape might help go hold it together.
I am looking for all the wires and cords that go into an electric blanket.
I need a replacement controller for Serra foot warmer, model JC-PFI-NJD-01,120v 60hz 50w.
Could you call Serta and see if its still under warranty? Or if they have the part for sale.
eBay would be a good place to start.
There are 2 controls presently listed on eBay but the cost is $24.00 and there is a new complete unit for $34.95 so maybe you might want to think about what to buy.

I've had the heating blanket since 2012 and have rarely used it, but now in January of 2016 it has been blizzarding cold and I decided to use the 3 tier heating control blanket. All of a sudden one of the cords has not shown red for power on. I tried putting in a new fuse, but nothing. I feel it has to do with the cord. I've tried to find the replacement, but am unable to find it. The model is ACHNWSK input 220-240V-50HZ 70W. Serial no. S0068218.
Can you help? Much appreciated.
I've found electric blankets and controllers are not well documented. While all blankets work on the same principles, that is where the similarities end. Some are dual blankets (his'n hers), some sense room temperature, some controllers contain timers, etc. If you know the model number of your blanket, go on eBay and type that in for a search.
Where do you find the model number? I found RN number and PN and then a stamped in ink another number. This is a Sunbeam dual control electric blanket.
We have a king size heated blanket and one control just quit. The control says it fits either a twin blanket or 1/2 of this king.
By Fisher
You do not provide the blanket maker, however, just search online for the manufacturer and contact for a replacement.
You will need the brand name to order a new control, and probably the model number as well.
I just bought this blanket at an estate auction. It looks practically brand new, but no control or cord. The label has no manufacturer at all.
I am looking for a 3 pronged cord with controller for an electric blanket (full size, 170 watts).
By Donna
Have you Googled the blanket manufacturer to find the website? Most manufacturers have a website, and on the website they sell replacement parts.
When my controllers stop working, I have had luck finding a replacement at Salvation Army Store or the like. I take the blanket itself or the controller so I can get the exact same replacement and try it out and make sure it works. They usually only cost a couple dollars.
I have an electric blanket that is missing a cord. The model is A-83313. The manufacturer is Automatic Blanket Plant in Smithfield, NC.
Another number here is Listed Blanket 341-B, E15945. Can I even find a replacement?I have lost the electric cord connection to my SCE electric blanket, model number TSK200x155x40cm-2xym. Kindly advise where and how I can replace same or find a company that can re-manufacture the two plugs and cord connection for me.
Thank you

I need a new power cord for my throw. My puppy chewed it, so I need a replacement.
You can buy these on eBay although there are none listed at the moment. Just be wary of buying used. Look for new old stock and sellers with high feedback.
You may want to try bitter apple spray to keep the pup from chewing cords and G-d forbid getting a shock.
Does anyone know where I can buy a spare controller for a Dreamcatcher duel heat (heats top & bottom independently) electric blanket, super king?
Thanks.
You can contact the manufactures and check how much a spare controller would be, or check on eBay.

I take the blanket into the local thrift shop and find the matching cords. Never had one that this didn't work with.
I went to my local thrift store expecting to find a huge box to choose from. I was told they throw them out!!!

By Brenda
Take the blanket to your local thrift store and find one that works. If you tell them what you are doing, it's fine to bring in something. Good luck!

Where can I find a replacement JC Penney's electric blanket wide 2- prong power cord?
By Carrie from Gary, IN
Where do I find a control for a queen size electric blanket? I need one for the right side. On the back of the control is - WestPoint, Inc. Elkin, N.C. 28681.
By D
On the control it says Sleep-Rite. There is a hole in the cord right next where you plug it into the blanket and I don't want to use it. The blanket has three places to plug in. Two holes are close together and the other is off to itself a little bit.

I am trying to locate a replacement control for the 950 West Point electric blanket.
By Dolores R
An easy online search reveals that West Point no longer makes electric blankets and also notes that the controllers have been a problem for many customers. Try this site for more information:

The label says automatic electric blanket, queen size, style 13 - 180 watts 110-120 volts A.C. only. And the numbers on the end of the label read 70912 02. It has one 3 prong plug-in and 2 controls.
By Debbie
One of the controls for a Living Quarters electric blanket quit so we are looking for a control. It's in a black box with red and blue control buttons with on/off in middle. The plug that connects to the blanket is a large 4 conductor. It is a digital display.
By Leon K
This may be difficult to find. I see blanket controls at Thrift stores sometimes and some controls will fit different makers but only you could tell if this were the case. eBay also has controls listed. Have you tried the Living Quarters web site?
My dog chewed up the control for my Westpoint home electric blanket. I need a new 900 control; where can I get one? It is a dual control with 2 plug ins at the end of the blanket.
By liltami
Have you tried Ebay yet? You could also get in touch with the manufacturer of the blanket, and get a brand new one from them also.
