Maybe the experiment worked the first time because someone smoked in the room yesterday and a trace amount of contaminant made it in the solution and catalysed a reaction. Maybe your supplier had a minor contamination on your reactants. The reasons are endless.
The issues I have with the "replication crisis" are two: malicious publishing of false results for personal or organisational profit, and malicious interpretation of prestigious publications as the one and only immutable truth. Both of which are social and political problems.
Scientific publishing was functioning fine so far for the same reason the old internet was full of true information while it didn't have to: there was little to be gained by lying. Now that gov policies are build on phd papers, things are changing.
