INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[kwhites634]

Hi all!
I made Sally Sunshine's DIY cabinet incubator back in the late winter, and have been running it steady ever since.
It's worked great, up until recently when we started to have temps in the 80s. We don't have AC, just run fans when
necessary.
The thermostat is a ST-1000 with a probe for what regulates the temperature.
So It overheated to 42*C & 44*C (according to the thermostat) - and it was set for 37.5 originally, then I lowered it to 37.0.
Even though the light bulbs (heat source) rarely turn on, it's seemingly holding them temperature of the eggs & then it starts to climb.
I moved the thermostat probe closer to the lights & kept the door ajar, and it's seeming to help. But, the temperature is more un-even
throughout the incubator b/c of this.
Any suggestions?

The larger one on the right is the one in question.


Since the photo, I've changed out the fans for bigger ones & they've
helped. But, that was months ago.

Also, all 3 turners had eggs in them when
it overheated. Most of the top eggs died, so they're
temporarily empty. Don't want to add more until I
figure out how to fix the overheating.

you have an accent too, i dont think i do, but when i get around other that do, oh my - watch out! it gets thick lol

When I moved from Boston to California at the age of 13, the first person I met at my new school talked just like me, then we met others and realized we were the ones that sounded weird. She was from Nashua. It took maybe 3 months for us to lose our accents. And we worked HARD at it. After 30 years, my dad's has mellowed considerably, but my mom's accent is as strong as it ever was.

If I spend more than a few weeks back there, I start to fall back into it.
