I tried to use this for the first time and it does not heat up. It makes a slight humming sound and the red light comes on and then turns off. Help!

It has been a while since I have personally used the sealer, but if I remember correctly you are suppose to set the thermostat to #4 then you press the handle down on the place you want to seal after that the light will come on then off (I usually count about 4 seconds after pressing handle down before I lift it up), now that usually seals the shrink-wrap just fine for my use. Hope that helps.

If it is not sealing, turn up the timer. When the light is on, it seals and then goes off automatically.

Turn the knob on the front of the unit to the right to the highest setting (8). The unit should heat up and stay on for longer. Adjust to your sealing needs downward from that highest setting. If you have already done this and the unit does not heat up, then I would call the mfg and or Amazon for a replacement under warranty. Hope that helps.

If you plug it in and it fails to warm up, it's bad. Either the cord, plug or heating element has a defect. Make sure the out-let has power. Sometimes a circuit breaker in the basement has popped and there's no power on the outlet.

What's the problem? If it doesn't melt the wax, you need to turn the dial to right, and probably you should keep the cover on. If that doesn't work, are you sure the unit is getting power? Apart from that, I suppose the unit is defective - mine works fine.

Try to return it. Don't keep it or try to use it. if it is defective, it could be fire hazard.

i dont recall I only used it one time, and on that ocassion i discovered the right warmer was NOT working.

If it started beeping on the first use, then check to see if the electric outlet is properly grounded. Try plugging it into a known grounded outlet. It should not beep, if it does, then you got a defective unit. Your outlet needs to be grounded. The beauty of the device is the beeping does occur if it is sacrificed during a power surge to let you know the appliance is no longer protected.

Sure you can turn it on again and it will heat up. I would turn it off asap to prevent burning or just make another smll or at dinner.

I would love to answer your question but the unit only worked once and would never heat to temperature again. I would keep looking if I were you. This is the second one of these we have had to throw away.

I would unplug it and replug it in, and go through each step again. When I first started using it, I would forget and set the temperature first instead of last. Look for the blinking dot next to the temperature.

It may be getting too hot. Do you unplug it daily when not in use? I don't have this particular warmer anymore due to a puppy I had for a month=) but it was doing it & my new one did it one day & it made me think of my old one. I unplug it when not in use & I don't see it blinking anymore. It definitely warms. Maybe it defective. I'd contact the manufacturer Also, have you gotten it wet=)maybe with all that people release during a massage(electricity+ human aura, things may mix up) Food for thought. I hope I helped!

I also had this happen after months of use and thought I'd just used it to death. I came back to buy another one and tried this and it is working perfectly again! Just unplug everything. I let it sit for about 15 minutes (plugging it back in immediately did not work) and then plugged in the pad, and plugged the pad into the wall. No more blinking light, it turned right on and started heating up right away. Thanks for this tip! Hopefully it can help someone else, too!

I'd send it back and get a good one. Mine works fine. I wind it up and then put what i'm cooking on it and press down and it rotates until I lift the cooked food off from it and it stops rotating. Yours should work something like this. Good luck. By the way, I have enjoyed using mine. I never had one before, but it's doing the job.

I'm no expert, but I think it's defective. As soon as I plug mine in, the little red light turns on. It works immediately if it's plugged in and it works without the cord after it's been charged. The problem might be with the unit or it might be with the cord/charger. Good luck.

I had mine plugged in for a few months - only using it occasionally - and one night when I wasn't using it, started flashing red in the middle of the night - it didn't turn the heat on while it did this. It didn't stop when I used the control so I unplugged it and replugged it in and it's been fine. Nothing in the manual about that. If it does it again I will call the manufacture.

I wish I could help. When the product was shipped to me, I opened it, plugged it in, turned it on, and found it defective. It barely put out heat and ran for about 10 seconds. I put it back in the box and took it to UPS for the return trip all within 15 minutes from the time it arrived.

It did not come with one...bummer. I have used it quite a bit and it has worked great. But the last time I used it, it seemed to not heat up as well. I am wondering if the heating element is going out. Hope this helps. Thanks so much.

I haven't had any problems with mine, Im not sure how you could fix it. I did find at one time mine was not heating, I checked and the cord was not plugged in completely to the blanket. I plugged it up and it works fine.
