Roll-X running hot

[scarlsens]

My Roll-X automatic turner with forced air is running way too high. Since I plugged it in it has been running at 105 and it is turned it down all the way

Does anyone know how to fix this problem I'm having? I have 14 eggs waiting to go in the bator, please help

Are you using more than one thermometer, to check the temperature? Some thermometers can be way off; that's why I always use at minimum two. I don't have any experience with your type of incubator. Sorry I can't offer more help.

Thank you, we are going to add another one. We are borrowing the incubator, I really hope we get it going.

The roll -X thermostat if turn all the way down ,should be kicking it off . Some of the older roll-x have waffer thermostat, and the waffer do go bad, easy to replace, and lots of places sell them.


Does the light go off when u turn it down. you should hear it click too. on and off when you adjust it.

Note the bronze color disk, under the adjust knob, thats the waffer.

Thank you deerman! Ours doesn't have the waffer but my Husband just switched the themostatstat leads about 10 mins ago and that seems to be working.

O.k. so that didn't work but my hubby did his magic and now it is working. I was wondering if you could tell me where to get parts for the roll-x, as near as I can figure we have a RX or RX1.

Here is a link for all the roll x. Marsch farms started making these back in the 60s. then lyons bought him out.

The newer one use the soild state thermostat

Changing the lead shouldn't make a differents. My guess one of the connection is loose or needs cleaned
