Sounds like you have a bad ground. Check your electrical box and see if the ground wire is connected securely. Also check the cable to the campground wire for a broken wire or bad connection.

For less than 5 bucks you can get a plug in tester which will tell you if there is a ground
wire problem.

Bond the frame to the electrical panel ground and ohm out that connection to the round prong on end of cord (should be 0 or close to 0 ohms). If not then you have a break in the cord wire to ground. Good luck & be safe.
