No one has jumped in as to how to troubleshoot so here are some basics
First test you power cord to establish the ground is OK and check the neutral while moving the cord both at plug in and at each junction all the way back to the transfer switch watching for any reading or deflection then start inside
Turn off all your 120v breakers
Test the skin both to a proven ground and neautral
Use your proven ground/neutral as your negative lead attachment
Start flipping on breakers one by one testing to see when you get a reading with flow to the negative lead
Many times it has been the electric element in hot water heaters that have failed either to age or operating them without water in the tank
Good luck
