Is this incubator salvagable

[Gotalotofpetstoo]

A friend recently picked up this incubator for me. It's a Nurture Right 360. Used. It was very dirty when she brought it to me. I have soaked and scrubbed it, but can't get anymore of this off. Any suggestions on something else I can soak in it to loosen up this stuff? I've used Dawn power wash and rinsed it in diluted bleach. I don't want babies born with bacteria locked inside with them. I just read about a product called Oxine AH. Would this work to disinfect the incubator even if it doesn't come completely clean appearance wise?

** Also, the turner light is not lit up, but is does turn when I test it. I have that egg in there so I can leave it for a while and see if it has moved when I come back, but just wondering if maybe a light bulb could be blown, or has anyone run into this issue?

I don't have any advice for how to clean it better. But as for the egg turner light did you do a return to factory setting reset?

To clean the incubator, you could try soaking it in vinegar. It always seems to work well for me.

I did factory reset it

I got the incubator working last night, the egg turner that wasn't working. So I thought I would post my fix on here since I saw a lot of other people seem to be having the same problem. The turner would work if I manually push the plus and minus but the light wasn't on And it wasn't turning every hour by itself. I took everything apart except for the computer board, checked all the connections, cleaned everything really good under the hood, but none of that worked. I finally took the counter from 21 down to 1 And back up to 21 and the Turner light came on. I waited an hour and checked it and it had turned by itself. I hope this helps anyone else having the same problem.

It has to be reset to 21 in order for it to start working again. If you push the menu button and it showing anything other than 21 when you start it, it hasn’t been reset.

That looks like a calcium and lime buildup to me. CLR might remove it. Per the instructions you should never use anything but distilled water in this unit.
