Have you got a DVM? If so, set it to 240v AC and measure between the
cabinet metal and a nearby tap - assuming it is connected with copper
pipe. Or a mains earth from somewhere if not.

DVMs have a very high input impedance and should show anything you feel.
You could even try holding one lead while probing the cabinet case with
the other.
