I too am now getting a flashing F on the screen. It won't let you do ANYTHING and unplugging it doesn't work. Guess this pad only lasts so long. null

Thank you for contacting the Sunbeam®. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with your heating pad with F code and will be happy to help you.

There are several causes to a flashing control or a control displaying “FF, F1, or F2”:

1. Product is plugged into an extension cord/surge protector and not plugged into a direct wall outlet.   
2. Product wasn't plugged in properly.

To FIX this problem, do the following to reset your product:    
1. Unplug the power cord from the electrical connection.   
2. Unplug the cord from the actual product itself (if your product has a detachable cord)   
3. Re-plug the cord into the product. Make sure the connection is secure and complete.(if your product has a detachable cord)   
4. Re-insert power cord back into a wall outlet.

Your Sunbeam® Premium Heating Pad with XpressHeat - Gray has a 5-year limited warranty. If this doesn't resolve your issue, we'd like to kindly request that you contact us directly to help you get to the best resolution. Have a good day!

That’s been my experience.  I bought this one to replace the one I had.  It lasts longer than other brands I’ve tried.
