The revised electical laws regarding grounding of appliances and

not using their chassis’ as a.c. returns hit home one day when I

was cooking .

?

I was stirring something on the electric stove with a stainless

stirring spoon and reached for the ‘fridge door so I could retrieve

an ingredient, and there was some sort of fault and I got knocked

on my ass.

?

The fault voltage, later measured was 65 volts from the

chassis of the electric stove to the chassis of the refrigerator.

?

I showed this all to my LL’s son and he took a chance on touching

the pair of appliances at the same time, too.

?

Sears was there the very next day with a new ‘fridge and a new

stove.

?

Bless someone’s heart….
