Re: Incubator ?
No Fan..But we are getting one.The flexwatt is on the back of the inside of the incubator and the holes are covered with tape.We are going to seal the holes with spray insulation
Thanks.Mike

Re: Incubator ?
hmmm,,dont think thatd cause anything then,how is the door seal?,even without a fan it should be jumping like that,hang your probe and thermomter prob down at the half way point,dead center of the fridge,and see what readings there are

The thermometer has no probe it is digital and sits inside of the incubator.The frige door is sealed with the original seal and in very good shape

Re: Incubator ?
a fan in that incubator will go a long way to mixing the air inside the incubator to get rid of thermal variation. I would go and buy two computer cooling fans and look for a 12v adapter that has the closest amperage rating as the two fans combined and hook it all up and get some fans in that incubator. That with proper probe placement and that proportional thermostat will fix any problems you are having with temperature.

proper probe placement would be on the flexwatt?

Re: Incubator ?
Hi,
I think for incubators most people have it hanging/ sitting somewhere in the middle of the space.

Re: Incubator ?
You need to take the probe off the heat tape and center away form everything. I hope you have a small fan blowing in there also.
