I plugged in my new Genesis incubator this morning and noticed that the heat light is flashing. The temperature is at 99.9 and humidity is 49%. Why

That light is always flashing. At least in my case it was. I believe it is nothing more than an indicator light to let you know the unit is working properly. As for your temperature and humidity, they are perfect. 100 degrees is the IDEAL temperature. For the humidity, you want anywhere between 45% and 55% for incubation and between 55% and 65% for hatching. I have had two VERY successful hatched using this incubator and formula.

Yes is normal because of the spark generated from the thermostat.........it is difficult in this time to be "clear " of EMF...have a good time Alexis

Nope, just temperature and that sensor failed on me as soon as it was out of warantee cooking the eggs, another one only cooled, wouldn't heat - manufacturer and warantee company wouldn't even allow me to get a replacement sensor if I paid for it. If you get an incubator go here to buy a temp alarm. I would never buy exo terra, it's asking for trouble.

I'll check with a thermometer later but it should be warm enough to notice. Also, it takes a few minutes to get rolling. I would suggest flipping the heat switch on and off about half a dozen times; the contacts may be oxidized if it was shipped through a moist location. Simply opening and closing the switch may be enough. I had the same trouble recently with some surge suppressors.

Talked to Kenny over the phone. The reason is due to low temperature. The plates were incubated at room temperature around 68 F, which is too low. Advise him to place the agar plates in a make-shift incubator. Within 24 hrs, he told us that he saw colonies of bacteria.Customer Support EZ BioResearch LLC

Make sure the heat pump cord to system was installed properly. When you add new batteries, make sure you hit the button for "HEAT" as it flashes.

I don't know the temp, I just plugged it in and put my seedlings on it. I made sure to keep them from drying out and it worked like a charm. Glad I bought it, highly recommended.

It depends on outside temp, I don't know if it's normal but sometimes i get almost increase of 10psi on super hot sunny day.

most of the heat comes from the tubes... and they are in the open. I wouldn't touch them after it has been on for a while.. they are very hot.

I did not have any heat problems. My problem was that the unit had to be on before connecting to the dock which created a power surge when connecting which in turn created other problems that called for repair.

There are two High-Temp "Alarm" Lights for a 240-VAC hookup (120-VAC hookup utilizes only one) which show as a red glow visible through the grill while the "Cycling Thermal Overload Limit Switch" is cycling. When the unit cools a bit the Heaters resume (re-connect) and the glow disappears. So far mine have actuated twice over the life of the unit.

If your elements are still lit up and it stays hot, there must be a problem with it. Mine does neither of those things. I'd return it, I think :).

I haven't tryed heat emitters in it yet . So far I have only had a Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 UVB compact 26w in it and it's been working great ! . If you put a emitter in please let me know how it works :) .

Are you getting the red flashing light indicating it's solar charging? Since it sounds like you have a problem, you should contact the company? I would do that immediately and see what they say.

Yours is defective, I would guess. Mine is ready to go within minutes of plugging in. I think mine heats up fast.
