Should the hot wire be attached to the rheostat or the heating elements?

The electrical cord on my Holmes Ceramic Heater (HCH4061) frayed at the entry point to the heater.

While removing the frayed cord, I forgot to pair (mark) the wires on both sides of the enclosure before snipping the cord. So, now I do not know if the hot wire should be attached to the rheostat or to the heating elements (see image below).

VGRC3656BBSS Viking gas oven burners sputter or are very low

Hi, I year ago I replaced my igniters on my Viking Range Model VGRC3656BBSS because I was having problems with the oven. The oven was not getting to temp and the igniter was lighting but flame was really low . All was great for a while but then my originally problem resurfaced. My igniters light but the flame then greatly diminishes. It happens a lot but not always. Some one mentioned replacing the safety valve. Do you have a source, video or directions on this?

VED0530BU Viking double oven electrical issue

The switch on the upper oven doesn’t control anything. If you want light in the oven you must open the bottom door. Any thoughts from the Viking guys?

removing the burner tube on the side that had died, the tube itself seemed enlarged at the point where the ignitor attaches (so where it takes most heat I presume) and the boles there seemed enlarged and a bit cracked. (I don't...
