Dehydrator Yogurt Question

[Guest guest]

I have a Bee Beyer Dehydrator. I've not found another like it on the

Internet, but it's a huge box (like my microwave) that holds about 7

screens/trays (it seems similar to the Excalibur). The air flows from

right to left. I know my temperature control dial is off, so I use a

thermometer when setting the temperature. I only place yogurt on the

left side because it gets way too hot near the heating coil. The

temperature seems to vary a bit. I know I'm supposed to keep the

temperature between 100 and 110 F. Mine seems to fluctuate between 95

and 118 as the heating element kicks on and off. The temperature is

only outside of the 'correct' degrees for a very short time, then

it's back into the right range. My hubby says it shouldn't affect the

yogurt because it will heat and cool more slowly then the air

temperature and it should stay in the correct range. Is this normal

variance for a dehydrator to do and is the yogurt OK?
