Why did it stop working after my wife got an electric shock when she reset the receiver after walking across the rug?

It did not stop working for me. My wife did not get shocked. I disabled the alarm so that it only flashes a blue light. This is a great device. I would buy again.

Probably a coincident. Check battery outside on mailbox for good connection.

Electrostatic discharge voltages can be up to 30,000 volts and enough to damage the internal chip in the receiver. This why workers with sensitive electronics wear wrist straps.

does not say what stopped working. However static electricity generated from walking across rugs has a high enough voltage to kill a microcircuit. Electronic assembly stations for circuit boards are protected by a wrist strap grouding the operator.

When the alarm signal goes off, and cannot be reset. Also, when this happens you have to buy a new unit. This just happened to me, so I can speak from experience. Good luck.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

Sorry, I haven't had that problem and can't give specific advice. What happens when you turn it off and then on again? Doing that often clears a problem with a variety of electronic devices.

You should be able to reset it right away, if it doesn't reset grounding out(something shorting out) or breaker itself is bad

See if there is electricity working in the electrical outlet that the microwave is plugged into. If not, check the circuit breaker in your electrical panel. Maybe it tripped. Or maybe there is a gfci receptacle on the same circuit as your microwave that tripped. The gfci receptacles are the electrical outlets with those two tiny buttons in the middle. If you find any of those in your house, press the tiny button that says "reset".

Where exactly are you feeling the shock, and is it a one-time or repetitive jolt or continuous? If one-time or repetitive, most likely the shock you feel is electrostatic charge generated by the friction of dust on the wall of the shop vac hose. There are ways of modifying the hose to ground the charge, which would solve the problem. If the shock is continuous, there may be an electrical fault in one of the appliances, in which case you'd probably be receiving a constant shock. I'd ask the shop vac manufacturer and Bosch for advice.

Try taking out the batteries and putting them back in. I had no problem with mine when I got it and have loved it! Sorry yours isn't working. Also, it has to be on a flat surface. It doesn't work on the carpet.

That happened to mine once. Turned out that the GFI was tripped on that outlet. I reset the breaker and it has been working great ever since.

We had the same problem a few months back. A repairman came out and replaced both switches in the door. This did not completely fix the problem so, after much trial and error, he decided to use a rubber-band to hold the switches in a certain configuration. This helped our microwave for a while. Though he spent the majority of his day at our home, we were only charged for the house call. After reading through the reviews, it seems this is a common problem with this model. We are now looking for a replacement unit. Needless to say, GE models are not being considered.

If you open the back of the receiver or transmitter, set all of them to the same to match and be sure you are in range it should work..pretty easy. If too many frequencies between this will cancel it out. So test them close range. Should work. I did have one faulty receiver and had to send back. Now they both work great. One up stairs, one down stairs and doorbell at back and front door. Good luck!

Try resetting it. If that doesn't work send it back. My wife went through three before we got a desent one.

Hi Selina,I would make sure you did not have a power surge in your home. Make sure the device is completely plugged into the socket. If there is a reset button on the power outlet then do a reset. Beyond that, I am really not sure. Contact the person who you purchased it from and request a new one.I hope this helps. Good Luck!

I had a similar problem, but it was temporary. Someone had turned off the power to the outlet where my Sony RDPXF300iPN was connected.

Try to blow out the switch. Then if that does not work, take it apart to see if there is any dust clogging the movement. Look at the brushes to see if they are good, replace if necessary. Look at the contacts, make sure they are clean.

I had a switch that worked most of the time. Once in a while it would "stick" and a small tap on the side of the unit would free it up and it would run again ok for quite some time. However, on one of its stick times, I hadn't checked it for some time and my whole basement flooded. I changed the switch which I believe is a weak point in the system (after reading other people's posts).

Several things could be the problem. Ensure that the motion sensor puts out AC rather than DC. Also, that it is connected as the only power source for the the coil. That is the side connectors. One side Hot the other Nuetral/Ground. The Volt also need to be 120-110 If you have a voltage drop through the sensor that could also cause the malfunction. properly working it will have a loud cluck sound when it turns on and off but otherwise it not make any unusual sound.
