Call an Electrician!!! you mean a real one? That would be like buying some Barb B Que Sauce made in New York
Besides I have years of experience shocking and electrocuting myself
FWIW it was a Electrician that wired it up originally. Why it did NOT already have a GFCI is completely inexcusable. This ground issue could date back 15 years; but we never would have known as no GFCI. I am trying to do my best to keep the new GFCI and figure out what is wrong to fix.
