I have a DE606 with 240v. When I plugged it in without a socket cover the three prong didn't go in straight and it sparked and popped the breaker switch. I set the breaker outside and now the machine won't start. Where do I begin?

Can you take a picture for us of the plug and the socket?

I have been called the Plug Queen more than once. Right Sama

1- Try re-setting the circuit breaker again.

2- With a NEON circuit tester (that can withstand 220v) CAREFULLY stick the leads into two of the three outlet's prong-holes in all possible combination and permutations The tester should light-up in all configurations. (NOTE that one set of prong-holes will deliver 220v and the light will be much brighter.)

One it is established that there is power to both hot-legs and the neutral is still properly connected, We can go to the next step.


When you say "it" sparked do you mean the plug or the machine?

Please feel free contact me at my email address for more personal guidance.
