Hi all, First time post. Just sold our house and am awaiting the inspection. I have one issue that I suspect will popup as it did when I purchased the house. I was advised that it wasn't a big issue so I chose to overlook it. I have a room that has 4 outlets. Two of them are controlled by a switch on the wall (use this for lighting in the room) and two are on the opposite wall. The two outlets controlled by the switch as well as one on the opposite wall report as not being grounded. As far as I can remember all the outlets in that room are controlled by the same circuit. I have opened up the 3 ungrounded outlets as well as the switch and it appears that the grounding wire is indeed connected properly. I will say that I can see the ground wire in the switch box but I can't actually see if it is connected (the connections appear to be at the rear of the switch). It is also connected properly at the outlet that is reporting that is grounded correctly. I've checked all other outlets downstairs (additional living area, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room) and they all report as being properly grounded. So, what could the cause of this be and what would my options be if the inspector flags it and the buyers want it fixed? Could I propose installing GFCI outlets for some added protection if the breakdown in the ground can't be found?

I am trying to install an inline blower (DirectFans.com, model R-110) on a Kenmore Elite Dryer (model #110-82822103) to vent the dryer, due to length of venting. Blower control monitors the dryer neutral via a current sensor. When sensor see current, it turns blower on. After current stops, sensor keeps the blower running for around 7 minutes. Everything is wired correctly, but when dryer is plugged in (4 wire cord, correctly installed, and 4 wire outlet, also correctly installed), the sensor turns on the blower right away, with dryer in the off position. I amp’s the neutral, and found it has .85A on it with the dryer controls in the off position, which is enough to cause the sensor to activate the blower. I am thinking it has to do with the electronics of the dryer, since the controls seem to be all electronic, with LED time indicator and push button controls. Is there anything that I might try to reduce the amount of current the sensor is seeing? Any other ideas? DirectFans.com does not show any support pages that I can go to for assistance. Thanks in advance.
