Heating Mat Troubleshooting & Repair Policy
When a heating mat is not working properly, the controller indicator can help identify the issue.
1. Controller Light Blinking
If the controller light continues to blink after confirming a secure connection, this almost always indicates a malfunction with the heating mat itself.
Please send the entire unit to our warehouse. Include your full name, contact information, and a brief note describing the issue.
2. Controller Not Turning On or Powers On but Mat Does Not Heat
If the controller does not power on, or if the controller powers on but the heating mat does not get warm, the issue may be with either the controller or the mat.
-
You may send only the controller for repair.
-
Repair fee: $20 for one controller, plus $10 for each additional controller.
Once you receive the repaired controller:
-
If it works properly, no further action is needed.
-
If the mat still does not heat, this confirms the issue is with the heating mat.

This fee will be waived if the entire unit is shipped in.
