GQF Incubator turns off for about ten minutes then comes back on

[blade70]

GQF Sportsman 1502 cabinet incubator (White control panel style) has began randomly turning itself off and on again when in on position. I can't figure out why. The cord is good. Power socket is good. It just turns off completely, no fans, no power in the console, all lights off, turner won't work. Then it turns itself on again 10 or so minutes later. I have seen this happen twice. It says there is a fuse but when I unscrewed the power socket all I see is what looks like an auto resettable fuse switch. Is there a fuse or is it thermal overload that resets? Any possible answers would be helpful.

Did you figure this out? Gfq has good diagrams on their website but sounds like it could be electronics?

Gqf said to replace the switch assembly. There is a thermal switch inside of it. I ordered one but while waiting for it I took the screws out and have it hanging outside of the cabinet. It has not did it again since. I have a thermometer that records high and low temp.

Interesting! I wonder if you jiggled a loose connection back into place when you pulled it outside the cabinet.
