with the stove unplugged i measured the pins on the power cord. one of the blades to the ground pin has continiuty the other does not. the 85v was measured from a copper water pipe to a grounded object. you could touch the pipe, the shower nozzle or the stainless sink and you would get shocked. with the stove unplugged all is good. plugging the frig in the same outlet causes no problem. |

Looks like there is a short some were inside the stove. Without seeing the stove I'm not able to tell you were and what part is shorted. You have to call a certified tech to diagnose the problem. Gene. |
