I have one of the laminated flat thermometers in there and I have another thermometer coming today. I need to get a hygrometer though. any you recommend?

I am curious why you do not answer questions from the people trying to help you..
it was mentioned a few times that the problem was probably just a bad thermostat and you keep talking about getting a new heating element..

I don't think you can buy a thermostat for this incubator. I looked on the companies website and there isn't a part for that. its just the egg turner and the heater/fan part

This is the old 4250 farm innovators incubator

Doesn't matter which you use...as long as you test them for accuracy.

I like the caliber IV. It had good ratings and tested dead on out of the box.

Good luck and keep us posted.
