Excess spillage made me think I could clean the inner area of the slow cooker. I dismantled it but cannot get it back together.

I was cooking one day, and an overflow seeped into the slow cooker's inner area. I've cleaned the inside of slow cookers before so had a go with this one. Big mistake. I cannot get it back together. A load of $$$ was spent so worthwhile putting it back together. It works fine, but geez, there are more screws and cables affixed to various metal pieces. I wonder how the hell it was put together in the first place!

Have a look at the video to learn more.

There is a way, technique even, to get into the really hard areas of these types of electronics. Or, it is just too complex, it is a job for somebody with loads of time to help put back together.

On closer inspection I found that the threaded rod was installed long then cut short after the bottom panel was placed. I bought a 2 inch thumb screw at my local hardware store. I drilled through it to slip the clamp rod through it. Then I tightened the nut and cut the screw just above it.

The pot is not designed to be remove for cleaning etc.

Newer devices the pot is.

So I would like to know if it is possible to do this with mine, because cleaning it is tiresome and messy with the pot in place. There seems to be some kind of a gasket between the pot and body which would have to be seperated to remove the pot at the risk of damaging this seal.

The cooker works pefectly well and is economic with electricity

I expect there is a safety issue with this type of cooker if the pot is removed.

Does anyone have any input about this topic please?

My Ninja Cooking System flashes error code 2 after 10 minutes. I tried pulling out the plug to try to reset it but it keeps happening. How do I fix this?
