Two electric appliances have been fine when turned off and utterly dead when next used. Coincidence?
Three days ago I turned off an electric heater for the day; when I returned and turned it on, it showed no more life than if unplugged. I could see nothing wrong anywhere, but unplugged it and tried several other outlets. It remained inert . A different heater is now using that outlet with no problem.
Then yesterday I took my ShopVac from the closet and plugged it in upstairs. Again, dead as a doornail. I cleaned it, inspected the cord, tried different outlets, swore at it, shook it: nada. Utterly dead.
Both were in fine working order when turned off. Is this coincidence or should I be worrying about a short in my house’s (110v) electrical system?
Also: when I ran my bath I felt the tiniest little hot nip, not even a shock but still…there…from the screw in the cold water handle as I turned it off. This has happened a couple of times over the past year and then gone away without incident or repair.
If you are canny about these things, please help!
It is possible that you have an electrical problem and if you are feeling it through your water pipes it could be very dangerous. Have an electrician check it immediately! You could be badly injured if something is wrong.
