I guess I should consider myself lucky that neither the vent error (see other post) or this electrical connection error resulted in a fire. My home is a new courtyard villa. Boy they really slap these things together, don’t they?
First the dryer vent issue and now this electrical. I'm sorry your having such bad luck with your new home. Hopefully this will be the end of your problems.
