What Is Sunbeam Electric Blanket Controller?
A Sunbeam electric blanket controller is a device that controls the temperature of a Sunbeam electric blanket. It is typically located at one end of the blanket and has a number of buttons that allow you to adjust the heat settings. The controller also has a timer that can be used to turn off the blanket after a certain period of time.

Whether it’s due to wear and tear or accidental damage, knowing how to replace the controller can save you from having to replace the entire blanket. With the right steps and tools, you can easily swap out the faulty controller and get your blanket back up and running in no time.
