Hello
I just wondered if anyone has had a go at repairs on their rcom, as the spares are really expensieve :-(
i bought the Incubator about 10 years ago, & did a couple of hatches at the time, since then its been in the loft !.
I believe its one of the older ones that use to have humidy sponge pads in the water container, but i have never seen any pads or know where they would go !. As i i understand these & the humidity unit have been replace by an updated version on the newer machines.
websites i have been on say the 2 parts are not interchangeable !, they look similar with the newer one now having a plastic cage around the heater element.
I dont want to buy the later version as its a staggering £60 over here and still may not fit ?
just wondered if anyone has had a go a repairing it & if so where did the source the heater element from ? (or swapping the with the newer version ?)
There is also a water sensor in there with the heater!
I also have water leaking out from the water reservior, where the rubber link tube goes into them. This isnt good as the main board sits above this area & its now quite humid with the water sat below!. i guess i just need to replace the rubber tube so wondered if anyone has a size & source for this please ?
When i first started the incubator, you could hear the fans varying in speeds so i was thinking about replacing them, anyone found some good replacements?
Many thanks
Fred
