[happyhens44]

I finally got mine set set up and my incubator has been running since yesterday night. But if I put it 1 little notch, before turning off. (If you turn it to far the light goes off etc) well I keep it one notch from the light going off, But the temp is still at 105!

Any suggestions.

Patience Grasshopper!!! That thermostat needs time to adjust, it takes time to level off. If it's at 105, turn it 1 whole turn down (it should be clockwise) and leave it for an hour or two to level off or just pull the top off for a few minutes to let the heat out. Is this a new bator or used and where is your thermostat? It should be at egg level. If it's new, you should have instructions to get it close to target temps. Did you screw the wafer on the adjustment rod untill you heard a click, it's not a very loud click and if you go too far, it might damage the wafer. I hope this helps.
