Hello !
I'm helping a friend who just moved in a new appartment. One of the things we made was to change all the old painted switches and outlets (and accompanying wallplates) by brand new ones.
Using a receptacle tester, I made sure that all outlets were correctly wired.
There are two outlets were I found an open ground, one of it is unused but the other one is in the bathroom, where the washing machine is installed. I double checked that the ground wire was correctly screwed to the outlet.
We informed the owner who doesn't seems to care of the problem - at least in a short term period.
Besides this outlet, there's a 220v one used for the dryer - and its ground contact seems correctly wired.
I wonder if a ground wire can be "safely" installed between the 110v faulty outlet to the 220v one as a temporairy quick fix.
Any advice on this ?
Thanks
