Test your bator and post back with the results, remember the temp needs to be around 99.5 to 100 for forced air units. Still air is 102.

Or you have the option of building a Miss Prissy bator very affordable to build and it works.

i cant even tell that, it heats a little then cut off, think I should just scrap it.

Tried adjusting the thermostat?

If it is old does it have an ether filled wafer thermostat?
