A flashing "FF" would be an error code of some sort. Check the owners manual that came with the blanket, or call Sunbeam's customer service line and ask them.

The Sunbeam Electric Blanket is machine washable.
Unfortunately the Sunbeam Electric Blanket is only available in twin size?
Sunbeam electric blankets receive unfavorable user reviews, many of which are 1 out of 5 stars. Customers complain that at higher settings the blanket simply shuts off and that error codes cannot be cleared for the blanket to function properly.
The cost of an electric blanket usually depends on the brand of the blanket and where it is sold. Sunbeam is a popular brand and you can find some at Walmart in the $30-$40 range.
Yes, the Sunbeam Queen Size Electric Warming Blanket Dual Control may be what you're looking for. It can be set to different temperatures on each side.
Sunbeam heated or electric blankets are available all over the United States. Some major retailers that carry them are Macy's, JC Penny, Walmart, Goodman's, and Kohl's.
Some cautions of using a cheap electric blanket are the blanket could short out and cause a fire, the thermostat that controls the temperature may not work accurately and cause burns or dehydration. The material may also fall apart and be unusable.
Just reseat the control plug at the base of the blanket with secure force. The main plug should be seated past the retainer catches on both sides of the plug. Then unplug the AC cord from the wall and replug to reset. This is a common problem for ALL Sunbeam electric blankets. The socket fits too tight and takes some strong-arm force to connect properly. Seems SB wanted to make sure you could not kick out the plug when sleeping.
My cat has been burrowing under the covers lately, and soon, my side of the e- blanket started flashing F2, whereas my husbands did not. I unplugged the blanket itself, and both sides started to flash F2. Its my belief this is some sort of power disruption - whether its a short, or just a loose connection. I went to the sunbeam web page and found this answer to flashing F question... this was last updated in 2006, at which time the error was FF: The digital controls (SmartSense™, ChoicePlus™, StyleSmart™) are designed to notify you in the event that a problem has been discovered by flashing "FF" on the display. Follow instructions on the flag tag to reset control. First, check the blanket/mattress pad for visual damage. If no visual damage is found, unplug the system from wall outlet. Check that the control is well-connected to the module. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet. Set the control to "On." If the system still does not operate after 2 or 3 times trying to reset, disconnect the power cord and contact Sunbeam Consumer Care.
Can I use a woollen underlay or mattress protector with my electric blanket? Yes, if you have a Safe & Sound electric blanket manufactured in 2005 or later, it can be used in conjunction with an underlay, providing it does not have a heavy rubber backing. The underlay or mattress protector can be placed either on top of the electric blanket or underneath it. Please note that your electric blanket may take longer to heat up should you place the underlay over the top of it. If you have any other Sunbeam electric blanket (i.e. not Safe & Sound) or one manufactured before 2005, you should only place the underlay or mattress protector underneath the electric blanket. Placing a heavy underlay over the top of this type of blanket may trap the heat and inadvertently activate the safety overheat protection system, which cannot be reset. If using a magnetic underlay, you should check with the supplier of the underlay to ensure its effectiveness when used in conjunction with an electric blanket.
No, but an electric blanket can interfere with a pacemaker. Furthermore, electric blankets are dangerous in general!
