Electric range, metal cooking pot.

Stick a metal spoon in the porridge and get shocked!

Uh, why?

I don't have ANY experience with electric stoves, so any insight would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

How old is the unit?

If the unit is old, my guess is you've got a pinched wire or a wire
with worn or soiled insulation...any one of these conditions could be
providing an electrical path.


If the stove is type where the burners easily pull out of their
"sockets" ...pull all but the "shocking" one out.

Replace it with another & switch locations of the single burner as
well.
Us isolation & process of elimination to localize the problem.

Either use a voltmeter or continue to use the spoon / porridge combo
to verify leak.
