Electrical problem - where to start?


I had a similar problem on a 35FC the problem was a 110V cord was caught under a swivel chair and the insulation had worn thru enough to cause a slight short, If you can feel it you have got a AC short some where, first check with a good voltmeter, then try turning off theAC breakers to locate which circuit is the problem. Good luck,

Wayne, your skin is "hot" withd 120v ac and you should disconnect immediately until you find the problem.

So if you are barefoot and try to open the doors, zap!. Needless to say the wife and kids do not care for this feature.
