Sure, here are a few suggestions on where to find a replacement controller for your Sunbeam BL0750 electric blanket:

* **Sunbeam customer service:** You can contact Sunbeam customer service directly and they may be able to help you find a replacement controller. Their contact information is available on their website.

* **Online retailers:** There are a number of online retailers that sell replacement controllers for Sunbeam electric blankets. A quick search should turn up a few options.
* **Local hardware stores:** Some local hardware stores may also carry replacement controllers for Sunbeam electric blankets. It's worth checking with your local store to see if they have any in stock.

Once you've found a replacement controller, you can either install it yourself or have a professional do it for you. If you're not comfortable installing the controller yourself, you can take your blanket to a qualified electrician or repair shop.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting your Sunbeam BL0750 electric blanket:

* Check the power cord to make sure it's plugged in securely.
* Try using a different outlet.
* Check the fuse or circuit breaker to make sure it's not tripped.
* If you've tried all of these things and the blanket still doesn't work, you may need to replace the controller.

I hope this helps!

The controller flashes most likely due to a shorted heating grid in the blanket, do not use it.

With the Sunbeam blankets that I have owned, FF meant that there was a bad connection somewhere. Have you tried the unplugging and replugging the Controller cord back into the blanket? Make sure it is plugged in GOOD AND TIGHT. If that part is connected as tightly as it can go, you may have a defective element.

Sunbeams - blinking "F" means that the connection to the blanket was loose. Make sure you give it a good push to get the piece fully engaged.

I think the board is burnt out on the unit and is in need of service or replacement through Sunbeam.

One can contact Sunbeam at 800-892-7684 for bedding.

do away with the blanket, as it is an electrical issue, hazard!

Did you get helped last year? If so please ignore. Otherwise....

Hi. You can locate a Sunbeam Service Centre via http://www.sunbeam.com.au/Pages/Support/Repairers.aspx

You're looking at $69,95 recommended retail.

BTW have you checked that it's not the blanket? Swap the controls over, if the problem follows the control it's the control. If the problem stays on the same side of the blanket, it's the blanket.

Also note Sunbeam has a 3 year warranty on electric blankets. If Date Of Purchase is less than 3 years ago call 1800025059 option 1 to speak to their Customer Service,

Same problem, but now it is ok.  I emailed Sunbeam and was told that if my blanket was not plugged directly into a wall outlet it was not getting enough power and I needed to plug it into a wall outlet taking these steps:
1) Unplug from the surge protector/extension cord 2) Unplug from the blanket 3) Plug back into the blanket 4) Plug into a wall outlet
