We did an electrical sub panel change from an old 6 space pushmatic to a new 6 space square D. When we were turning the breakers back on one of the single pole breakers tripped immediately. The really really old microwave quit working and smelled like burning wires, then we realized that the fan motor to the the refrigerator also burned out which was plugged into the same circuit as the microwave. The receptacle shows open ground at the receptacle but it has a grounding conductor connected. Receptacle shows 60volts from hot to ground and 55volts from neutral to ground but 116 volts from hot to neutral. Also the ice maker on a different circuit fed from the same sub panel appears to have burned up. We replaced a 6 space sub panel with new 6 space sub panel and put it back together exactly the way the existing was installed and now we have a couple smoked old appliances. I don't think it is the electricians fault can somebody please help? Thanks
