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.

All metal surfaces/all of the metal parts of the stov should be
grounded thru the safety ground on the 3 or 4 wire plug. *THat should
include the coils that do the actual heating. *If you only get ashock
when you are touching something that touches the metal coils, turn off
all of the heating controls and see if you still get a shock, *IF you
don't yuou have a leakage somehow in one of the coils and a
potentially serious condition and should call an experienced
electrician to check things out,

He also apparently doesn't have a proper ground or
he would not get a shock even with a short of some
kind to the metal frame.



Do you have a voltmeter that you know how to use???
