    Hi,

    If you can test the heatpad plugged directly into the wall socket ( not while it is attached to the ank if possible ) If you have already taped it in place then sit and babysit it to make sure it doesn't get hot enough to burn the snake.

    If the heatpad works ok it's the thermostat - saves the embarassment of taking the wrong thing back. Done that a few times. :oops:
