    Why would it become live?

    Thanks guys, Rest assured this thing is NOT going to be plugged in again until I sort it out. I think that it must be some sort of short? I will test all the wires in the morning and let you know how I get on. The multimeter that I have should give me some sort of idea of continuity...

    Why would it become live?

    Thanks Davy. I have not checked the plug as it is a sealed one. All I can do is post another photo to see if you can find anything. There is a sort of "glue?" on some of the wires. I thought it was burned at first, but it's not. The pic shows the motor the right way up. The black box under it...

    Why would it become live?

    Hi all and thanks. The more I read this, the more I am tempted to put this thing in the bin. I have checked all the wires,earths,leads etc..... and they all seem fine? I can only think that it must have been something to do with the bolts that snapped. There is only one thing that I...

    Why would it become live?

    Hi thanks for the replies. A strange twist to my "shocking" experience. This power wash has a shut off switch that stops the motor when the lance is released. I decided to remove the cover to it and found "what looks like" water marks. The shock came from the brass tube (to the right) as...

    Why would it become live?

    Hi Jason. Thanks for the swift reply. It is possible, In fact more than likely that swarf may have fallen in. I have got an RCD, but it was not in use at the time. Would the swarf act as a conductor? I never thought of that. Wonder if there is any hope for this machine now? :cry:

    Why would it become live?

    Hi, Another elec question I'm afraid! I have a power washer and 3 of the 4 head housing bolts snapped. Upon removal of the third bolt I found that it had stripped the tread and gone into the housing of the motor ( a bit of oil came out). I re-tapped the hole and heli-coiled it. When I...
