OPEN GROUND Defective or Maintenance
When you encounter a open ground at a receptacle do you rate it as a Maintenance / Repair item or do you write it up as Defective ?

Why and how come ?

Re: OPEN GROUND Defective or Maintenance
It's "defective".

Why?

Because it's not right.

If a roof leaks, is it defective or maintenance?

It's defective.

Why?

Because it's not doing its job - it leaks.

Re: OPEN GROUND Defective or Maintenance
In need of repair.
Maintenance would be cleaning, painting, and such.
Grounds don't go bad because they need cleaning, painting or lubricating.
They are bad/defective and need to be fixed.
Call it like it is.
