OK loose Marrett was the reason the Electronic wasn't working properly. However the wafer still doesn't work. I replaced the wafer (twice), NO difference. I will try a new wafer assm. today .
$600.00 + 27.00 (2 wafers),+ (I don't know what they want for the whole wafer stat) won't be long and this should qualify for FREEVES status, piece of  .
The original owner did give me a good deal on a Snow white R.N. to replace the male R.N. that the Owl got.

labmancan,

If the unit has the electronic thermostat, the back up wafer will not operate. You will have to disconnect the electronic thermostat to check the wafer out.

Thanks for the info Steve;
The instructions stated to dial the Electronic back a turn or so. I will try to set the wafer with the Electronic disconected.

You were bored and looking for something to do.

Apparently, you found something to do

Even went to the P.O.P.W.A. annual general meeting Sunday

I'm not a GQF incubator guru by any means. The "wafer stat" on my GQF hacther with main electronic thermostat has the wafer stat wired into the system and is used as a safety switch to prevent overheating in case of electronic stat failure........but, I would assume that the electronic stat would have to be bypassed in order to use wafer stat as the sole thermostat?

C.H.;
100% correct. If you disconnect the Electronic you have no power to the Wafer at all.
 I just bought a new Wafer stat $37.99 + 5% tax, The instructions were worth it. I have it installed and am waiting for it to reach 107*, if and when it does, then I can adjust the Elect. to 99.75* and it should take over from the Wafer.

What's that?

They may call it a wire nut or Marr connecter down there,  here they're a Marrette. A black. yellow or red bakelite type plastic, that you twist around 110vlt wire to splice them together. They are listed as 30,33,and 35 depending on the amperage rating and gauge of the wire.

I thought of a way to fix it !

Cut a hole through the bottom, set on the house register/heat vent and crank the heat up ! "circulating" fan and all !

I kinda figured that might be what you where talking about. I was an electricial contractor for about 20 years quite some time ago.

Don't pay any attention to "Reeves".  He doesn't even know how an incubator works, that's why he doesn't have one.

 

[Reeves]

Hey ! I have two !
Actually, counting all of them, there are ten.

Yup that would work if the wife wasn't already going through mental pause. I t can be 18-20* in the house and she breaks out into a sweat. I haven't even taken the air-conditioner out of the bedroom window yet.

 Well no difference 2 new wafers, a new wafer stat, disconnect Electronic (NO power at all). The manual says to set the wafer (back) control first, set it to 107* so it will keep the eggs from cooking if the Elect. fails. Garage is 72*f, the wafer will not raise the 1202 temp above 88*f . Time to return it, see if he has one that works, it can only be the Electronic control at this point.
