An electric blanket control circuit is provided which includes an overheat protection circuit to detect an overheat condition as well as a fail-safe testing circuit to assure that the electrical components in said overheat protection circuit are properly functioning. A simulation circuit is provided to electrically simulate an overheat condition in the blanket. An on-off switch is provided which will consecutively activate the overheat simulation circuit and then the fail-safe testing circuit so that said circuits are activated each time the electric blanket is turned off by the user.
