Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Had quite a nasty electric shock today....
Fitting a washer in our home, unfortunately i got my hands quite wet fitting the water feed, it started to leak so i tried to tighten it and the unit and it was plugged in (had to be plugged in becuase of position first)...not wise, im aware of this, in fact rather stupid!!...like taking a right hand from joe calazghe.
I isolated the electric etc, thought it might have been the washer, it wasnt. Tested the socket it was plugged into and the earth wire has a VERY strong current flowing though it. Put a voltmeter on in and it went straight to 400 and something ? very strange, i know.
I thought perhaps that some other sockets/switchs might be the same so i checked the screws on the outside, as i was a little nervous . Some read a very small voltage, only just registering, others non at all.
Any idea what could be causing this or a possible solution? Seems some of the earths have somehow become live, but others not
