Remodeled kitchen 3+years ago. Refrigerator is a dedicated 15amp line with NOTHING else on it, as per code of course. No earthquakes have occurred and no one has messed with the wiring for years. This morning the refrigerator stopped working but I figured out it still functions on another outlet. And, after testing with voltmeter, I found that the dedicated outlet for the refrigerator reads 120V on the hot side (to ground) AND on the neutral side (to ground). The circuit breaker in the basement seems to be working fine and is not warm to the touch or anything weird. What can be going wrong?? For safety, I've now shut down the circuit from the breaker.
Advice greatly appreciated.
