Sportsman 1202 auto turner problem

[cassiadawn]

My old Sportsman 1202 doesn't seem to be auto-turning properly anymore. Every time I check it, it's turned to the left. If I move it back to horizontal manually, it goes back to the left eventually. If I turn it all the way to the right, it eventually goes back to the left. But I never just open it up to find it in any position but left.

Has anyone run into this problem before? Is there any way to fix it? I've got a bunch of turkey eggs in there now (and another batch to go in) - really don't want to have to manually move the trays every 3 hours or so!

I run into this apparent problem from time to time. Seems like every time I go past the incubator it is always in the same position. I make sure to come by a little over 3 hours later and when I do mine is always in its next position.

If you are sure that it isn't just a timing issue with you never being there at the right time, you can get replacement parts at GQF. It could be something as simple as the roller switch or the timer and switch assembly.

Good luck.
