    I am having big problems getting this frige converted incubator temps stable.The temps in the incubator are going up and down with the room temp.The frige is in great shape so I don't understand why the temps won't stabilize.I have a recon thermostat and flexwatt with water bottles in the frige.Any ideas? probe is on the flexwatt.
    Thanks.Mike

    Is that an on/off or proportional Thermostat You're using?

    I personally would only use a proportional thermostat...That could be part of the problem...

    Do You have a fan in the incubator?

    A little fluctuation through out the incubating process isn't bad...If it's jumping around all day long I don't think that will be good.

    we use a cheapy zoo med on off and stay withint 1+/- of the setting,probe hanging in the middle right next to the thermometer probe...so you have your holes for the flex-watt/tape/probes sealed?,or did you jut run them through the door so it closes on them?,where is the flexx watt?
