A not perfect but quick check is to buy a tester at a hardware store or Radio Shack (about $3) that looks like a plug and has three leds on it. The Micronta (Radio Shack) version also has a decal telling what the leds are saying. Plug this into a grounding adapter wired into the socket and see what the leds are telling you. If it says you have a problem, you probably do. -- Dick Rickert AT&T Consumer Products Laboratory
