HELP!!! Incubator humidity not working and keeps beeping!!!

[iambulldog]

Once the sensor goes "truly" bad, I don't think you can fix it. You can try cleaning it, but you risk damaging it if it isn't already damaged. There may be a way to order a new one if you could find the part. It looks like a really cheap humidity sensor. What I did is just bypass the sensor by cutting the wires leading to it, exposing about 2mm of wire on the ends, and putting both ends into the water tray. The water will give them enough resistance to read about "69" on the humidity display. This will stop the beeping. Of course, don't forget to put in an external sensor of your choice to monitor humidity after that. It's just a cheap sensor, other than that the incubator has worked fine for me.

Can you send me a picture or video of how to do this to my email [email protected]

will get get enough ventilation with the styrofoam case?

I finally silenced the alarm!

1. Unplug everything (power and connectors on bottom)
2. Remove the sticker on top (controls)
3. Remove the 4 screws holding the control plate on.
4. Remove the 4 screws holding the circuit board
5. On the underside of the circuit board, there is a black cylinder with a silver hole in the center, this is the speaker.
6. Carefully with a set of wire cutters, I removed the cover of the speaker. More, I pealed off the cover
7. There is a silver disc that is loose (I'm not an electrical engineer, but I believe this is the disc/plate that vibrates to make the sound. I don't know if it is needed for the connection or if it can be removed... I just super glued it and then reassembled the incubator.


No more sound!
