Hi can anyone help? I've just installed a new dishwasher which is giving out electric shocks when touching the metal parts inside and also the kick plate. I took away the separator between dishwasher and washing machine,(as not enough space) is this got something to do with the shocks?

Sounds like an electrical fault to me .. If the machine has a moulded plug then I would suggest it is the power outlet ..Get a qualified sparky to check out the sockets .Also does you house have an RCD in the fuse board?. If it does then you have a prob with earth as rcd will trip if earthing is correct and there is a fault. Sounds like a live earth to fault, however.. without looking at the prob .. I would strongly suggest getting a sparks in pronto .. and do not use the machine untill it is cleared as safe.
