Trader summed it up nicely. If you have the polarity swapped on your

That Stormin guy said much the same. The toaster
shell should either be isolated, or grounded.

I read once toaster shells aren't grounded because of
what could happen if people hit the heating element pushing
the toast down. Forks? Knives?



Could be isolated. I've never put a VOM on a
toaster, might do that some day for raw
excitement. My toaster has two wire cord and
plug, so the shell is probably isolated. Does
anyone have a three wire corded toaster to test?
