The plug in on mine gets terribly hot anyone else having this problem? Mine is 2 days old now and I unplug it at night.

Among other issues, this is a flaw that mine had. I sold mine at a garage sale after about two months. Useless item unless your animal is a gerbil!

If you feel uncomfortable with the units power transformer, then you should return it or just get a new one. I have measured my transformer heat output and at in house temptress of 75°F, it is around 95°F They are designed to get hot and have vent slots to allow cooling, unit is reducing your household current from 120VAC/60Hz/10VA down to 12VAC/6VA. That in itself causes the unit to get hot. A bad pump will also cause unit to over heat. My unit has worked fine for over a year, but I clean it monthly including build up that tends to clog pump.

Mine does get hot..not really hot hot. It sounds like yours might be defective..perhaps you'll have to return it.

Did you plug it in right? I plugged it in 1st time & it got hot!! Turned charger over & it charged up fine.

Mine is warm to the touch but not excessive. The power supply is very warm though. I am going to look for a new one to replace it. Hope this helps.

I leave my heater on for very long periods of time, all through the night, or if Im not burning wood during the day. Just make sure where you have it plugged into the wall doesnt feel hot, I recently updated many of the wall plugs in my home.

bob, I have one but installed it in the summer. How warm is warm? did you try switching off your power for that outlet to make sure it is working? I also would switch out the 9v battery to make sure that there is not a short in the battery. good luck. chris

I have no problems with mine. I would check for a loose connection or possibly the plug to Wht ever your running it to may be worn out

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!

Mine gets pretty hot, I charge 5 battery power packs. Not sure if it is too much or not, I just hope the circuitry shuts it off incase it gets too hot...

When just charging it is ok but if you are using the laptop and plugged in then yes it gets hot, so does the laptop!!

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

Mine got uncomfortably hot too while it was charging my truck battery back up. I set it on a brick and actually let a small fan blow on it (which surprisingly cooled it off) But after 2 days like that, it reached a point where it blinked green, and eventually went solid green. And once it went green it cooled off - presumably drawing far less current. I'd guess your battery is fairly depleted and must be given some time to charge back up. If you are concerned or feel it's a safety issue - call the company.

I have had that problem and find just unplugging it and then plugging it in again makes it come back to life. It has not been a good heating pad.

You must have gotten a defective one, they get hot. I've had a brand new one bad out of the package

Yes, I have it is just terrible. I returned the first one I ordered and have received the second unit, only it is doing the same thing. It does not get hot, neither does the cord or outlet but it smells of melting plastic. I really do not want to send this one back but cant stand the smell.

I agree with the previous response. If you know the outlet is good and its fully plugged in and you push the on button and nothing happens most likely the power supply in the unit is bad. Time to return it.....

Same thing happened to me. Unplugged it until it turned off. Plugged it back has been operating normally. You need to protect it from excessive heat when the car is parked.

Wow, that's soooo frustrating. I'm sorry I can't help. Our has worked fine. A couple of times in the beginning it did stop and we unplugged, plugged it back in. Fortunately it was an easy fix for us. I hope you can get it resolved soon.
