Last night another heating element stopped working on a incubator I have 40 Sebastopol eggs in. I hope we caught it in time but will not know for a few days. This is a Hova Bator Gensis 1588. This is the 4th one I had this happen to. These incubators are only 3 years old. I have checked and they do not make replacement heaters for this motel

You have to replace the entire heating/sensor unit. Here is the correct link for it:

I have the same machine and haven't had any issues. Having 4 going bad makes me wonder, if you have power surges. I would buy a small surge protector. The single outlet ones run around 8 dollars. Even brown outs can cause damage, but for those you need a UPS unit, which run around 45 dollars. Lastly, have you checked the small step down transformer that connects from the outlet to your unit. It could be faulty causing all those burn outs.
