I've just had my kitchen refit. Partly by me and partly by a professional. After everything had been shunted about and then put back into place, we started getting electric shocks from any metal bits in the washing machine - mainly the drum. Any ideas what's gone wrong?
Could be static (did you have the floor covering changed?) although it's impossible to safely diagnose your problem without testing, for peace of mind call an electrician. Jake
Hi ramsden You need to check that there is an earth at the socket the machine is plugged into as this is a classic case of no earth at the washing machine.
Another reason why RCD protection is a good thing..to stop things like this happening (hopefully)..however do you get a tingle off of any other metallic items in the kichen..ie stainless kettle/toaster etc etc or is it only confined to the washing machine?
Have you rammed the WM in so far that a protruding item on the rear wall has pushed the back plate onto a live terminal inside the machine?
Maybe it is something simple like the earth has pulled out of the plugtop/flex outlet etc or has broken where it goes into the washing machine
get yourself a proper sparks to check it out. use niceic sparks, their not all perfectect but if you not satisfied report them, sorry lads but iv have a few sherbuts and im ****** if because there are so many blocks on this site that are doing all these jobs but havent got a clue what they are doing, sorry to vent my spleen on a saturday night but after a few jds it spills out sorry abou the spelling
Yes ,no earth at socket.. > JP rcd probably a good idea ,but not as a cover for r poor installation Exactly LD..exactly.
