Electric blanket control unit...repair required..WHO/WHERE?
 

The control unit for our Homefront electric blanket .. 5 pin ACHPFD Aug 2011 .. has packed up. No life at all, not a flicker. Changing fuse made no difference. Ebay chappie says if the unit is dead he can't repair it ! Homefront have no idea when a replacement unit will be available..not a lot of use.
So........
Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that can repair it ? It can be posted so no problem there. I have tried local outlets/electrical shops etc but no joy.
Seems a shame to have to get a complete blanket just because the controller is broken.

Bin it.
6 years old and it past its best.
You don't want it catching fire and by now its probably stinking of P!ss....
Get a new one.

Yes, that's the one. Each side of the blanket has its own control unit and last year one was flickering so sent it off to chappie and he repaired it, works fine. This time the other side has just stopped, no life at all, no warning and chappie's page says if its dead then no repair... hence the question.
Clutching at straws time.

It works fine, or one side does !
And it is clean.

Do you not have any form of heating in your bedroom?

I've not heard of anyone using an electric blanket for years

Yes, usual central heating but nice to get into a warm bed !

Bought a new one.
