I have a nearly 20-year-old Amana refrigerator with a bottom freezer and an ice maker. Recently, I've been experiencing a charge in the shower when I touch the metal drain and another metal plate where the faucet is attached. An electrician spent hours looking for the source and found that the issue is with the circuit breaker line that the fridge is on. The electrician suspects the fridge is sending a charge back into the ground, which is connected to the water pipe, causing nearly 60 volts on all pipes touching the affected pipe. We tried plugging the fridge into a GFCI outlet, and it popped, causing sparks. What can be done to resolve this issue?

On the front piece where the knob controls are, the very top of this panel has several small scratches on it, presumably from dragging pans from the glass top cooking area. The entire front of the stove is supposed to be stainless steel, and the model number is KESS907SSS04 with the serial number D13133414. Can you instruct me on how to make these scratches less noticeable or to make them disappear altogether?
