Anybody else have issues with the probes on their herpstats failing?
I am on my second in a year..both on my incubator, at least this time there were no eggs in it.
They have both failed in such a way that it maxed out the temp on the stat
, cooking the eggs the first time. I figured one time is an anomaly, but now twice? I am beginning to think I need a new brand of stat.

Someone I know just had this happen to them on a brand new one and lost the majority of a clutch because of it.

And if I recall it was the probe because his Stat read 88 degrees while his thermometer read way higher.

I KNOW ITS THE PROBE, BECAUSE I CAN TAKE ONE FROM ANOTHER STAT
AND IT WORKS FINE. I HAVE 5 HERPSTATS AND I THINK I WANT TO REPLACE THEM ALL

I'm not sure if heard of this happening with another brand but I'm curious what herpstat would say?
