I popped off the unit "uh...and that would be the ground wire...doing nothing. And that would be...a melting wire. Awesome."

Our oven died during the height of the pandemic. It took MONTHS for the replacement to arrive.

The guy tasked with the delivery and Installation pulled the dead unit partly out to see what was behind it and found DANGLING LIVE WIRES with EXPOSED TIPS. They weren’t part of the oven’s power supply.

Buddy (neighbour), I already know that you bought a new motorcycle. It's a 250cc twin and that race exhaust you put on it doesn't make me think that it's a Litre Bike. It just makes it sound like a couple of Rupp minibikes with no cans.
