How to reset day counter on 24s incubator

[OzChickens]

Hi,
I have this Chinese incubator model 24s.

Day counter currently sitting at day 44, tried reset button but it only cycles the egg rotator while day counter cycles from 10 to 1. Then resumes day counter at day 44.

Any ideas?

I’m also having trouble keeping this incubator under 50% for the first 18 days, unless water is low, it maintains humidity at 60-64%.

Reading the manual doesn’t indicate this model has controls for humidity other than a low humidity alarm.

With heavy rain some days then several days of sunny dry out weather, outdoor humidity varies widely.

Personally I hve never used this but I did find a youtube link that could help you Good luck.

To lower humidity you need to have less surface water. If it is a humid environment you might not need any water at all before lock down. Sorry I don't know how to reset the counter.

Thanks. I’ve tried the reset method shown in the video.

It causes my incubator to cycle down the day counter and to rotate the eggs from one side to another. At end, my day counter does not reset to zero.

The hunt for a solution continues.

I guess you already tried unplugging it for thirty seconds.

Did you hold it down through the cycle and rotation? It seems like you have to press it a verrrrrry long time.

Yes. I’ve tried short single press and a long press and hold while it counts from 10 to zero. No difference. It’s very frustrating.

Looks like kogan sells an identical model. The website looks identical to the printed manual

Sorry, I wish I knew more. The more you reply on here the more people see it. I'm hoping the correct person will pop in.

I have just went through this frustration myself. You have to hold down the up and down arrows at the same time for 5 seconds. Hope it helps.
