I have seen a fan motor go bad and get hot enough to raise incubator temps.

I had a temp spike on Sat. night/sunday morn. Bator was hard to control all day. It has leveled out and is doing fine and I still have live chicks. Of 16 eggs, I know atleast 6 and possibly 8 are still developing and 4 are olive and I can not tell. I can see movement, so I know they are ok so far. I think two quit early, perhaps because of the spike. The other 4 never started from what I can see. These eggs were shipped and 12 had detached air cells. So they've been through a lot. If I were you, I definitely would not throw them out. I don't if mine will make it to hatch, but I see live babies so far so I'm holding out hope.

Don't forget to check and see if your THERMOMETER is the correct.

I had some pretty extreme (over 110) temperature spikes once with my silkies, more than half still hatched just fine. They were very short lived spikes, but the eggs were hot to the touch.

Wait a few days, candle them and see what you have.

I figure during the summer here in coastal NC the heat index is hotter then that....especially under a hen....so I wouldn't give up just yet!
