This gets more confusing the more I read. This comes from the CPSC (2005ROP 17-6) and they cite a couple cases of kids getting zapped touching a vending machine with a broken ground pin and a fault. I sure don't see why this is a "vending machine" problem. It would seem to me any piece of equipment you can touch would do this ... which brings me back to the original issue I had. Big stainless steel machine, puddle of water in front of it and off you go.
Why isn't this drinking fountains, grocery store coolers and a juke box in a bar too?
I guess I shouldn't say anything out loud or we will GFCI everything.
