    Trouble shooting Princess stove

    My 120 Volt Princess stove popped the breaker.
    Upon examination I found that the oven control switch was loose and rotated into contact with the frame.
    After fixing that I noticed that even with the breaker off I was getting electrical tingle when touching the frame and the toggle switches. If I shut off the main , no current, but no matter which individual breaker I closed the current remained. Suggestions ??

    Sounds like reverse polarity. Have you tried it on a different pedestal or on genny power?

    Thanks Sky,
    The polarity test on the panel does not light up.
    I just checked some of the outlets with a plug-in tester and found some are correct but one had open neutral and another had open ground apparently I have more than one problem.
