How can I fix my Montgomery Ward's slowcooker (crockpot)?

I have a Montgomery/Ward's Slowcooker, circa 1980(estimated age). I need illustrated diagram of electric components and wiring diagram display. Can you help me so I can fix my slowcooker.

sadly, i'm in the same situation, except mine's even older. i have no hopes of fixing it, but my desire to do so has nothing to do with being a tight wad. i suspect the same is true for the original poster. modern slow cookers don't last nearly as long as the old ones from the 70s and 80s, and have more complicated circuitry that breaks easier. so there's a valid reason why someone might want to repair one instead of buying a new one, which they'll just replace again in a few years. you said it exactly - 30 years of use.

What planet are you on? You've had 30 years use from the cooker, and you want a wiring diagram to fix it. Do you think that Montgomery/Ward are going to keep spares for 30 odd years, just for tight gits like yourself, I don't think so. Have you got short arms and deep pockets? Don't be a tight wad, shell out and buy a new one.
