Rice Cooker: Zojirushi Induction Rice Cooker loud buzzing sound when plugging in

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 08:08:05 -0700

What does a loud electrical buzzing sound indicate? The sound is similar to an AC when it’s cycling on. It may be overloading the circuit. Loose wire? Major part failure?

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 16:20:50 -0700

Aroma 2022 > model ARC 1030SB, I kept having bad horrible burnt smell so I decided to disassemble to figure out what was going on. I found that the hot plate had burnt waste under it and in the inner bowl like very bad. So I clean it and now well, try my best to put it back. But can’t seem to remember the way the wires r suppose to be. I tried to put the wires how I thought they should go, but when I go plug it in, and press; a cook button it turns off. So struck in this part. Help! Other rice pot old YouTube videos haven’t not help whatsoever. And can’t seem to figure out where (heat) wire should go. Cause there also ACN & ACL (the ACL is connect w the power plug. Like in which order am I supposed to put the wires that go screw in, on the hot plate. Cause the black one by its self that reads (Heat), blue wire that is by its self and reads ACN. Finally the red wire attached with the, plug in and it switches out to black wire w a white cushion on it reads ACL. So in which order should I put these?? Help?? And I been trying to upload pictures but system won’t let me.

Rice Cooker: Power fuse got blown when inserting into wall

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 11:55:13 -0700

I have a japanese rice cooker with the brand name being panasonic SR-MY051 and i am trying to locate the fuse that got blown but im slightly new to this type of stuff so my experience in locating the correct component isn't too great. When the fuse it on the board, on the board itself it says "ZNA" not sure what that stands for but i assume it is the failsafe incase of something like this happens.

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 00:31:17 -0700

The panel is fine but I can't see the small arrow when I plug in. When I pulled the cord I could see the arrow flash and disappear. Seems the power line has a connection issue with the main device.

Rice Cooker: My rice cooker shocks me when I touch it?

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 12:54:08 -0700

I just bought a rice cooker recently. It's a philips HD-3017. I've never used a rice cooker before so I accidently took the pot out and forgot about it and well....I poured the rice and the hot water straight into the inner part of the rice cooker. I didn't realize what I had done until I found that the water which I poured came out of the rice cooker from its sides its kinda like....the water leaked out off the sides so i quickly unplugged it and flipped it over and started drying with a towel but unfortunalty the rice is stuck inside it and whenever I shake it I just hear it moving but I can't get it out and when I googled about what to do most people would just say ti flip it and there will be like a nail that you'd remove and then open it and the rice will come out but mine doesn't have any nails
