Typical symptoms

Fault area and what the code does not prove

Separate the manufacturer-defined condition from components that still need exact-model diagnosis.

Safe next steps

1. 1
   Confirm the exact Sunbeam Heating pad Red Auto-Off light blinking model and displayed code before changing settings.
2. 2
   Complete only the user-accessible checks described in the linked official source.

   if Red Auto-Off light blinking remains, stop and move to exact-model diagnosis
10. 10
    Published check — If Red Auto-Off light blinking returns after the listed action, do not repeat the same correction indefinitely
