The setting is set to high for the blanket but the temp is nothing like it used to be, more like the low setting temp. The temp is adjusted by a rotating dial 1-9.
If I can get the control apart as there are no visible screws to seperate so maybe a press fit, what should I look for (if it is electronic I will bin them) as a possible cause?
Its unlikely to be the control, much more likely to be the blanket itself.
How old is the blanket? Probably more likely that you have a dead element circuit in the blanket itself. Of course I could be wrong but I think a new blanket will be the simplest solution (if not the most satisfying from a DIY POV).

Ok thanks for the replies, looks like a new blanket....wife doesnt think I am warm enough :-)
I opened a faulty controller[1] with multiple heat settings and 2 timer settings. It had a PCB with microchips. I retired in good order (as I never got my head around electronics, let alone microelectronics); but in bad odour with the owner who thought I could fix stuff.
[1] evidence that the fault was in the controller - not the blanket: swapping it with the controller from t'other side of the double blanket swapped the side with the problem.
wow didn't know these were still around ... last one I saw was in the 70's
