Where to Get Replacement Scentsy Light Bulbs

By 4 Comments

Scentsy candle warmers melt our wax using a 15, 20 or 25 watt light bulb. You can find replacement bulbs at many home improvement stores – although just be sure that you get the correct wattage for your particular warmer. You also need to get the ones with the small candelabra base. You do not want to use an appliance bulb. It looks similar in shape to a 15 watt bulb, but it’s not the same watt. Be prepared to pay a little more at the home improvement store.

A better option is to get them through us – you can stock up and order more wax while you’re at it.  We sell ours 3/$5. Get yours here or by clicking on the image below.

What to Do If Your Warmer Stops Working

By 28 Comments

If your Scentsy candle warmer stops working don’t worry it’s generally an easy fix.

scentsy black warmerOn occasion electrical appliances stop working. Scentsy Fragrance electric candle warmers are no exception. Fortunately it’s rare, but not unheard of.  There are a couple of things to check.

If your Scentsy warmer stops working all together:

  1. Change the lightbulb
  2. Check to ensure the light bulb is securely screwed in
  3. Make sure the plug didn’t come loose from the wall
  4. Try a different outlet
  5. Hit the reset button on your outlet if it’s a GFI

Those may seem like a BGO (Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious) but you’d be amazed how many times it’s one of those five issues above that has caused warmers to stop working.

If your warmer still works but doesn’t melt all the wax:

  1. Check the light bulb. Most importantly ensure it’s the right wattage. Scentsy wall unit, plug-in candle warmers use a 15 watt bulb. The midsize and three piece warmers such as the older Hokey Pokey or Cupcake warmers use a 20 watt bulb. Our standard, full size uses a 25 watt bulb.   You can get replacement bulbs from your consultant or many home repair stores and superstores carry them. It is very important you replace it with the correct wattage. This is the most common reason warmers stop melting the wax fully.   You need to get the bulbs with the small candelabra base.
  2. Make sure you don’t have too much wax in there. Generally one or two cubes are plenty. One Scentsy candle bar contains eight cubes.
  3. Look for drafts. Drafts from windows, fans, vents or air returns can greatly affect the way your warmer melts the wax.   Move it to a different location if you suspect drafts may be the problem. This is another common reason why wax doesn’t melt the way it used to.

If You Have the Kind of Scentsy Warmer Without a Light Bulb

If you have a warmer that doesn’t use a light bulb to warmer the wax, that is called an Element warmer. It uses a hot plate style. If your element warmer stops working, there are no parts that can be replaced on that one. Instead it will fall under our lifetime warranty. Use the information below to help you with the warranty issue:

***If you’ve done the self-diagnostics above and you’re still having troubles contact the Scentsy consultant who sold the warmer. If that person is no longer with Scentsy you can contact our customer service at 877-855-0617.***

Scentsy’s Lifetime Replacement Warranty

Scentsy products come with a Lifetime Replacement Warranty for manufacturer’s defects. A customer who has a product that is damaged in shipping from Scentsy, has a manufacturer’s defect, or has an indication of an electrical issue may return it, with no limitation in time, for repair or replacement through their Consultant or directly through Scentsy Family by calling Consultant Support and following the Returned Merchandise procedure.

Hopefully you will have years and years of enjoyment and great aromas from your Scentsy candle warmers. I am on my eleventh year of using Scentsy and have never had a warmer stop melting the wax or stop working all together.   As I said, it’s rare. But if it happens, now you know what to do.

Scentsy Plug-In Candle Warmer Great Gift for Travelers

By 1 Comment

Need a gift idea for someone who travels frequently?   Scentsy has a mini version of our standard electric candle warmers – the Plug-In. It’s small enough to fit into your purse or carry-on and gives the security and scent of home while you’re away from home.

When I stay in a hotel room I like having a night light on (no I’m not afraid of the dark) plus I enjoy having my favorite scent around. No flame, no smoke, and no concern you’ll set off smoke detectors in the hotel. The 15 watt light bulb warms the wax and gives you soft lightening. Perfect for the traveler on your list.

With Plug-In Scentsy Warmers, you still get amazing fragrance in even the smallest spaces. Now available in a range of colors and designs, each plug-in features a detachable base, making it quick and easy to change fragrances.   Shop from your seat here.

p.s. I recommend that if you are taking a plug-in candle warmer through airport security remove it from your bag so that it is in plain view in the bin. The electrical unit and light bulb can look a little suspicious on the x-ray machine. To avoid the delay of having a bag search, pull it out first so that the TSA officer can see it at a glance; then you should sail through the checkpoint effortlessly.
