Your electrician should have told you over the phone it was a bad nuteral. I'm guessing your discription of electrician is indeed a friend with good intentions. My goodness any electrician should have at a min. checked all connections and added a crimp to the nuteral on top of the line. (SORRY IF HE ALREADY DID THAT)If it has not effected the other feeds / barn it pretty well tells you it is on the house side of the nuteral and not on the power companys side although perhaps not totaly impossible. Consider yourself fortunate that it has only cost you a dishwasher so far and a few bulbs. Shut the computer completly off and check your insurance policy's, enter the EMS and fire department on your speed dial. Real bad things can happen here, don't put it off till Monday. Perhaps a little extreem but I would consider pulling the meter till a qualified electrician can get there. Don't be grabbing ground rod wires anywhere. Dave NE IA
