Chinese incubator fried

[LeeRoadPoultry]

I bought a rite farm 3600 last spring. It worked great until I left it to sit idle for a month and then tried to use it again.
The machine powers on but only sends power to heating element if I set it to 104!
Then it only heats to around 85..
Anyone else have this issue?
I'd be interested in your problems and how you resolved them.

Geez, that is a real problem. I would suggest calling the number for the manufacturer...they usually have a number for consumers to call. Hope you can get it fixed asap. Good luck.

Thanks. I am looking now at just replacing the whole thing. There is no manufacturer support.

You can use the box and put in a new thermastat with a lightbulb and a small computer fan ...
or just make your own.

Have you done that with one of these?
