Re: Electrical Improvements

I wonder if one of the appliances had an open neutral? I know the range was probably 240 v but maybe it still used 120 v for some functions?
Any opinions?

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….
