[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 348269, member: 1408"] Thing is , if you received a shock during the fault from it's metal casing there may be an earthing problem on your installation , an RCD would almost certainly have tripped . Does the machine have any standards printed on it . ? Where was it made ? And like the others , its under warranty , play the shock thing up a bit more and get their Technical Rep off his ass and out there . Thing is even with PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) it could have tested OK the day before . Sounds a lot like the Shellac on the motor windings failed ........it happens with imported transformers these days .......make 'em cheap and flood 'em into the UK ......they'll take anything as long as its cheap .
