• Controller Does Not Power On:
  • Check the DC 12V power supply connection. Ensure it is securely plugged in and providing power.
  • Verify the power adapter is functional and meets the 12V requirement.
• Incorrect Temperature/Humidity Readings:
  • Ensure the temperature sensor is properly connected and not damaged.
  • Verify the sensor is placed correctly within the incubator, away from direct heat or cold spots.
  • Clean the sensor if it appears dirty.
• Egg Turning Not Functioning:
  • Check the connection between the controller and the egg turning motor.
  • Ensure the egg turning function is enabled in the controller's settings.
• Display Not Responding to Buttons:
