Hi Dean and list, Be careful now,we like you around. Had a problem once at Naval Station in Memphis Tenn. Built a new Technical training complex for Aviation Electronics schools.First class of students were getting shocked all over the place. Seems the wiring all over the place was wrong. We staff people said we could fix it right,but they forced the contractors to do it. They couldn`t fix it after three weeks. So the local SeaBee Reserve Unit was activated to do it. After a week they did ask us to help, week later all was well.:-) Seems the main power coming down the road was a old WW2 four phase system which was then ran into a new three phase Delta-Y system thru a polygon tranformer substation. We staff did all the phasing and wire IDing and the CB`s did the wiring. Did the whole complex in one week and had classes going again. Seems I have digressed here,back to Deans house.I will tell you what I`ve done in the past and you can do it if you want to. Take the cover off of you power panel and connect a long wire (so it will reach where ever you want it to) to the neutral buss and get the end of it into your kitchen. This wire is your house ground. Measure from it to your sink,should be zero volts(have seen hot sinks because of disposal problems). Next measure from the house ground wire (the one you brought to the kitchen)to your wall receptical to the round ground hole, should be zero volts. Next measure to the longer of the two slots, (its a system ground) should be zero volts. Next measure to the shorter of the two slots. Should be 115 to 120 volts. If all of this is good, problem is not the house wiring. Read from short slot to sink,should read line volts(115 to 120). Read long slot to sink, should be zero. Now plug in the distiller, leave top off (don`t plug it in),don`t push in the power switch (don`t want it on yet).Read from the neutral wire you brought into the kitchen to the pot,should be zero volts (maybe a few millivolts with a digital meter).If its not zero volts there is a problem in the distiller. The distiller has a nut on the bottom (just one nut).UNPLUG the distiller and remove the nut. This will let you take it apart. Check for any water inside the wiring. If its wet dry it with a hair drier. Make sure its dry where the heater wires are. After its dry and no wires are pinched put it back together. TEST from the neutral wire to the pot again (has to be plugged in). If its not zero volts,take it in for service. Hope this helps some. :-) Bless you Bob Lee -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast [email protected]
