Which rice? Some medium grain rice is naturally sticky. Are you using long grain? Are you rinsing it well? You can toast it up a bit in a tiny bit of oil before adding the water.
For any particular rice cooker and rice variety you need to do some trial and error. Just keep notes.

It should be a 1:1 ratio. So one cup rice should be one cup water. Two cups rice full be to cups water. Also are you rinsing the rice first? Removing the excess starch will make a big difference

All good advice above. Also if you are using a measuring cup that came with the rice cooker you may find that it is not a true cup. Ours is about 3/4 of a cup when full to the 1 line, so that could screw up your rice.

I just started cooking and I use an aroma rice cooker as well. When I would put in double the amount of water to rice it was coming out too wet. Now if I use 3 cups I usually put in about 4 to 4 1/2 cups. Depends on how tuff I’m feeling that day lol. Good luck to you bro!

This. Also, use the finger test, not a set volume as that tends to come out better from what I have read.
the finger test?
