That is where you need to connect the extension cord (might mean taking down the hood) to rule out any 'house wiring'". - don't forget to disconnect the house wire when you put the cord on, otherwise it doesn't count. And take pictures of the wires so you don't mess it up putting it back | |

| Jan 21, 2022 at 3:59 | comment | added | Mazura | Actual model number or link to it? If you remove the grids, isn't there a cover over its integral j-box? You need to 'hard wire' that thing and that thing only - to test that thing; you still have house wire in the equation. If it works fine then, then you're running a new line all the back to the load center and defuncting this one, because wtf is going on, IDK, and it ain't the thing. - If it's the thing, then ... obviously get a new thing. | |

I wonder if the touch sensitivity was designed with certain assumptions and your lack of a ground changes those. I'm still trying to figure out how turning on the toaster helps though. | |
