[FireTigeris]

if it has a thermostat it may not have lost enough heat... or it blew a fuse or you tripped the breaker in the house ... or ???

Plug works.....thermomater is down to 90 I dont know what to do

Do you have a heat lamp that you can put over the incubator?

 

[bshpqr]

ya. i do. keep the top on?

 

[organiceggs]

The top needs to remain on to keep the right humidity or the chicks will not hatch. If you have a glass top, I would place a heat lamp over it and hope that it heats it back up again. I have never done this before, but it's worth a try until you figure out how to get the incubator working again. Does the wall socket still work or is it the incubator?

 

[bshpqr]

wall socket works think its the bator transformer
