Change the ignitors.

Once a lamp gets burned up in those sockets you usually need to replace the socket also, or it will just keep happening.

Re: ETS FACIALS BULBS KEEP BLOWING

Your most likly over powering the bed. Check your voltage. And as John said, if the socket gets burnt you'll have to change both lamp and socket.

For a lamp to last a week in a bad socket/lamp holder is pretty good.

Re: ETS FACIALS BULBS KEEP BLOWING

Always look at both lampholders before inserting a new lamp. If they are black at all, change them. If your voltage is over 230 the lamps will not last long. Are all the fans above the facials working. They may look like they are turning but are they at full speed? This is a common issue with these units. After a few years these lampholders will start to get old and burn up. You should always have some on hand. I ussually change both if one burns out.
