 Yes, we tried it on the other plug he put in, which works fine (a lamp turns on, and doesn't explode) And, no, the washer doesn't work.

Using the guage on the 'bad' plug it shows about 120 (it could be 115, the guage is really hard to read) -- out of BOTH sides.

The contractor that wired the area said he looked at the model specs, so I just assumed that both wires coming out of the wall were the same -- they sure looked the same.  And, I guess I should've bought a guage before and tested them, but, hindsight is perfect.. . . .

So what do you think -- could there be a way to replace a board, fuse, whatever, or is this an expensive lesson in putting in plugs, a cheap electronic guage, and a huge door stop?  Shoot, I don't even know if it's worth the 100 service charge for someone to come look at it. 

Also, I've looked on line for a schematic, for hours, and haven't found one.  Lots of part diagrams, but I don't think they're going to help me. 

thanks again for any help!!
