🔍 When you need this cam
The F117M cam should be replaced when:
- Motor idles: The motor runs but the grille doesn't move.
- Irregular Turning: The grate moves jerkily or gets stuck
- Incomplete rotation: The grill does not complete the rotation and stops halfway
- Cam visibly broken: Cracks, splits
- Worn teeth: The cam is damaged and no longer engages properly
- Excessive noise: Creaking, squeaking, or strange noises when turning
- Cam warped: The plastic has warped due to heat or wear
⚠️ What is the cam and why is it essential?
The cam (or joint) is the mechanical connection between the motor and the grid:
- Transmits movement: Converts the rotation of the motor into oscillation of the grid
- Critical Component: No working cam, zero automatic rollover
- Subject to mechanical stress: Continuously works under load during incubation
- Plastic material: Quieter than metal but wears out over time
⚠️ Before ordering: diagnostics
Is the cam really the problem?
Rapid test:
- Unplug the incubator
- Open the incubator and locate the turning motor
- Inspect the cam visually: Are there cracks, breaks, or missing teeth?
- Manually move the grid: Does it move freely or is there resistance?
If the motor does NOT turn at all: The problem is not the cam but probably the motor itself or the control unit.

🔧 Replacement
Procedure (accessible even to non-expert users):
- Unplug the incubator from the socket
- Open the incubator and remove the egg turning grid
- Locate the turn motor (usually on the back or underneath)
- Unclip the old cam from the motor (it may be a snap-on or clip-on type)
- Remove the cam from the grill mount
- Mount the new F117M cam on the starter motor
- Connect the other end to the grid
- Check that it engages correctly without forcing
- Reassemble the grid in the incubator
- Plug it back in and test the vacuum turning (without eggs)
💡 Advice from 45 years of experience: After installing the new cam, run the motor for at least 3-4 complete cycles without any load to ensure everything runs smoothly and without any strange noises. Only then should you load the eggs.
❌ Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not force the assembly: The cam should fit easily
- Do not reverse the connections: There is a correct direction for the motor-cam-grill
- Don't forget to test: Always dry test before loading eggs
- Do not use damaged cam: Even a small crack can cause sudden failure
