What is that rod to the right of the thermostat with the wing nut? That is how I adjust my waffer heat. You have a different incubator than me or that I've used.

I think you are talking about the humidity guage that comes in from the out side!

I looked at the incutherm kit and video! How do I make the turner work if I get the incutherm kit? Do I need to buy a new turning system or how do I connect old system to the new?

The Heat and control will be new--the turner and humidity controls will be the same.

Sorry I know nothing!!! So there will be two electric cords? One for the turner and humidity control and another for fan/heat and thermostat? or is ther a way to join them to one?

If they are wired together now, they will still be wired together--There will still be one cord. The power will go to both but the turner will not need to be replaced.

You can do it!(or find a geek to help you--most families or churches have one or two!).

Hi everyone! I bought a old 1200 series gqf cabnet bator. It has a waffer and electric thermasat.It is reading a temp of 97.9 and holding there but I have moved the black dial to increase temp and it wont budge! What am I doing wrong? Or what is broke? I have never had a cabnet bator and it came with no instructions. It has all the holes open in the back! If i cover them 1/2 way will that raise the temp enough? Thank you, Help please!!!!

Someone has probably turned your wafer thermostat "in" which would lower the heat. The wafer thermostat is a back-up----""""I"""" would turn the black knob all the way (highest)) then keep backing(counter clockwise) the wafer out a couple of turns----temp should go up---get temp up to app. 102 with the wafer then when its stable at 102(Its Set--no more adjustment on it)----back the black knob lower(decrease) to get the temp to 99.5. The wafer is there to kick off the heat strips if the temp tried to get above 102. *unless its been tampered with*

Even if the electronic thermostat was bad---the wafer should be able to control the temp.

O.k Can it be that the little black nob is broken?
