Hovabator 1590 died

[CindyS]

One of my hovabators died and its one of those preset 1590 models -before they were genesis. The fan runs but no heat. What went bad on it so I can replace it. Can they be fixed? I suppose I wore it out. Its been running non stop since November. Anyone know anything about fixing these things?

sorry, the only thing I can tell you is to do a search and check out Miss Prissy's homemade incubator. Lots of folks have made their own. good luck

I called GQF to see if I could get another thermostat for you and they said that they don't make it and that they don't have anymore available. I asked about retrofitting it with the thermostat out of the 1588 and they said that it would not work with the heating element in your bator. I have not personally tried it so I can't personally say one way or the other. Sorry I couldn't help.

Is your heating element heating up? I got a replacement heating element for my 1590 last winter from GQF.
