A Dud
I have exactly the same problem. Harris Scarfe are not interested in helping. They were similarly unhelpful when I complained about Elysian sheets from their shop, which shrank so much that they were almost useless on the queen-sized bed they were supposed to fit. I too suggest buying these products in a different shop.

Terrible Product - Do not waste your money
The worst product ever. After using for a few months the left side came up with "P" and doesn't work. Looking at all the other complaints of the same problem I would recommend looking at another more reliable product. Also purchase from a company that supports its products (not Harris Scarfe).
Nothing
Only lasted a short will before left side stopped working

Terrible! Not impressed!!
I googled this blanket as I have been getting an error message on the left hand side ('P' just like previous reviews). I'm disgusted to find that so many reviews below are experiencing the same/similar issues! I barely used the blanket last winter & as soon as I put it on for the first time this winter I have had the 'P' error & no heating at all, I estimate I would have got maybe 2 months usage from this blanket in total. Wish I'd seen these reviews before getting it!!
Nothing!
Short life, does not hear on left side - seems like a common fault in this product

One star is generous
blanket stopped working one side in less than 4 months. I purchased 4 blankets at same time and we experience the same static electricity on all 4 blankets as as reported by others on this site. It cost so much to return and the retailer, Harris scarfe, will not take it back on our behalf.
Cost too much to return under warranty

Dont waste your money, and potentially your life!!
I was actually searching for help to maybe fix my partners side, and was shocked to come accross all these reviews, and people having the same problem as me. Explains a lot!
I bought the fitted queen size blanket from Harris Scarfe... My partners side no longer works and is flashing 'P'. Reading the other reviews, we also get the same wierd sensation when touching - I also had it when holding my laptop - its totally freaked me out and I will be taking it off and discarding it this weekend!
When it works it works.
One side stopped working alltogether. Felling of electricty passing through human contact.

Try swapping controllers one side to the other, then switch on, we had a power failure and things went troppo, did the swap over and all came good again

Waste of Money
Only bought this three months ago. Almost immediately, noticed on one of the controls, when pressed to go on the H indicator goes off quickly and the red heating indicator numbered 1-5, will only go to L or 1. Goes out after 1 and subsequently does not stay on or heat up. Not only that, but I am having trouble setting the other side as well. After reading other reviews I will stop using this blanket as I cannot trust that it is safe. Maybe I will just go back to good old hot water bottles. Not even going to bother sending it back as it will probably cost too much in postage as I bought it on ebay.
Thought the safety cut out and 12 hour automatic timer would be beneficial. Did not last.
Cuts out all the time and won't heat the bed.

Disgusted, lucky to be alive.
I had a king size electric blanket for over 3 years, and just recently for some reason it wasn't working on one side which was on my side that i slept in bed.
Today I decided to turn my mattress over after 6 months, and when i took my electric blanket off, i noticed it had a burn mark in it, like a smoke burn mark.
I was horrified as my partner had said to me we are lucky that we are still alive as we could of had a fire and i could of died because of it.
For some reason my side didn't work but my partners side did work, I am shocked ...Read more
to find this out today 25th Feb 2012 and i will be taking it up further. I sleep with no electric blanket now would like to get one but my concerns are quite strong about what has just happened to this one, I am going to hold on to it just in case the company wants to see it as proof.1 comment

Good - for the very short time it worked!
Worked fine, heated quickly until 4 months after purchase, then it stopped working.
It took a month for the store I originally purchased from to finally get back to me with what was happening with my warranty claim after I lodged it.
They then requested nearly twice the postage than what they would have charged if I were purchasing it new from their store.
On reflection I can't really blame Kingdom, the problem lays with the store I purchased it from and their terrible after sales service.
Had I purchased this from a store close to home where I didn't have to pay postage, I may not have had the same problems.
Heated quickly, fitted my mattress well.
Terrible after sales service from seller.

Rubbish
Have only used the Queen size electric blanket three times and the left hand side comes up with an error sign.The shop owner has said that this has been the 4th blanket returned.They said that they would send it to be repaired.After reading other reviews I will be requesting my money back and purchasing a quality,known brand product from a reputable retailer.
It worked the first 3 times
It stopped working on one side only after the 3rd time.

Warning: Live electrical current passes through body
It took me a couple of months to finally figure out the strange phenomenon that was occurring when my children would come and wake me up in the morning. When one of my children stood next to my bed and touched me to wake me up, we would both feel a frightening (although not painful) vibration on the skin with a humming feeling like... "vvvvv". It's hard to describe. I was concerned and puzzled. After it happened a few times, it occurred to me it could be the electricity in my Kingdom fitted electric blanket. My kids and I did a few tests and re...Read more
alised it was happening whenever I was in or on the bed and they were standing on the floor (ie "grounded"). It also happened when the blanket was turned off but still plugged into the powerpoint. When I realised I had been sleeping with electicity going through me, I was horrified! I am so cross that these dodgy products are available in Australia. I have just located my Receipt and intend to return it to Harris Scarfe this weekend. Live electrical current passes through your body. See description of experience.3 comments
right sister!
I can't believe I'm reading this. We had the exact same thing happen to us as well this past year! At first, we thought for sure something supernatural was happening but then we realized it was the electric blanket.. sooo freaky!
Yes same thing happened to me!

Try swapping the controllers left to right, one of them may work and reset. Doubtfull though, this item is absolute dangerous rubbish.

The Product was terrible however I did get a call from Harris Scarfe and they were fantastic, replacing the faulty electric blanket with another brand. Would recommend purchasing goods from Harris Scarfe (they stand by their products).
