Looking into this further, I tested the voltages going into a subpanel that
is right next to the main panel.

The difference between the two hot phases going into this subpanel show
110v. *Between one of the hot phases and neutral it is 120v. *Between the
other hot phase and neutral it is only 12v!

Last year the electric company came out to fix a broken neutral wire on the
telephone pole, and this reminds me of the floating neutral problem I had
back then, causing mysterious problems with some of the circuits. *Because
there is a major difference between the different phases and the neutral, I
wonder if I should call out the electric company again, maybe their original
repair failed?

Or could this be due to a wiring problem inside the house that I should
check first? *Or perhaps a failed circuit breaker in this subpanel?

Call the Electrc Co now , I would caution against using anything
unless a V meter has pointed to show its ok, I had bad repairs on
the electric co
