Not having any luck finding other people online with these problems. YouTube is completely unhelpful. Ninja says I need to replace the base which is almost as much as a new air fryer.

Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker: Rival 3745 bad heating element.

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 11:27:45 -0700

I have a rival 3745 crock pot that has a bad element. The elements are resistive wire that is attached to the aluminum base and secured by a spring to hold it secure. The braiding around the wire deteriorated exposing the heating element inside. If I can find some generic heating wire I can take it from there and figure out the proper length i.e. resistance, calculating the wattage, etc. Thanks for your response.

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?

Aroma ARC-1030SB: Resembles wiring back in order

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.
