Snickers Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 You can check the outlet without a meter by plugging in a radio,hair dryer or pretty much anything you might have nearby. There is a good chance it's not the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 It's a gfci outlet and the machine is blocking access to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Probably just needs reset-you will have to walk the machine away from the outlet in order to so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Well then you might be SOL lol. Why would it be welded to the floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickers Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Remove the cooling unit to gain access to the receptacle. That's the only thing I can think of. Fun Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe101us Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 What about a grinder to the welds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 My guess is that the previous owner had it welded there for a reason. Getting it secured in place by another method other than welding is an option. That's your call. Removing the cooling deck would be easiest solution for the time being. Those GFCI receptacles do wear out after being tripped so many times so at some point that machine may have to be moved out of the way in order to replace it-for now I would just try pushing the reset on it if you can.

Southeast Treats Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Can you reach behind the machine at all? Resetting the GFCI outlet is just a button push if you can reach it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 I was able to take a stick and press the reset button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
