I thought it may have been a fuse too, but after replacing the cord There is still power coming from the outlet,

And the thermostats lights are on, so I went ahead and plugged the hair blower into one of the thermostats outlets and there is no power from the thermostat itself.

it was a cheaper one (zilla) will be upgrading to a herpstat this time around. Good thing I caught it before any other damge occured
