    Yah, he's straight up. I tell my boss that when he's on tight arse mode. He's a Alah convert. I can't get that. What kind of man bails out on Jesus?

    Wen I was young, I spent most of my money on fast women, slow horses, and cheap booze. The rest of it I just wasted.

    As far as ground pin location, many times builders will put outlets in upside-down to identify outlets that are switched with a wall switch.

    Ground pin location: WWJD? :rainfro:

    hello everyone, yes the shorter one is hot, but some cord caps have the bigger slot for hots because of some computer equipment in office buildings use it that way. And for as the ground being on top, it is for a saftey issue. If the cord is half unplug and a piece of metal should fall between the cord and wall it wont short out. We now have to install receptacles upside down in commercial and hospitals.

    no this should not happen at all, you are not getting a proper ground. you need to check your machine to see if the ground came loose or your oulet in the wall lost its ground. you need to get you a tester to plug in you outlet and see if your outlet has a good ground. you can buy one at home depot that has three little lights on the backn of it. it is called a ground fault tester.

    Hi Glen. Welcome to the Zone!

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    If your Avatar is an example of what you fish for, you'd better go armed.

    It runs but if I touch it with my bare hands I get a mild shock.
    Was there any final diagnosis??

    Hope he didn't put too much trust into HF electrical testers!
