Safe next steps

1. 1
   Confirm the exact Sunbeam Heating pad Heating pad does not come on model and displayed code before changing settings.
2. 2
   Complete only the user-accessible checks described in the linked official source.

Step-by-step diagnosis

1. 1
   Photograph the complete Heating pad does not come on display before changing controls or removing power
2. 2

6. 6
   Published check — Check that the GoHeat USB controller's USB source works, charge the power bank if used, and confirm the source can provide 2 A

   Published check — If the pad still does not start, discontinue use and contact Sunbeam
8. 8
   Use the result as the decision point: if the documented condition is corrected, complete only the source-listed check

   if Heating pad does not come on remains, stop and move to exact-model diagnosis
10. 10
    Published check — If Heating pad does not come on returns after the listed action, do not repeat the same correction indefinitely
