Hi Lisa - Great Electrical Repair Question!
Lisa - this is a potentially serious problem.
From what you have stated your electrical system has lost half of the main power and the electricity is feeding backwards through the 220 volt electrical appliances.
This is what is known as a neutral feed-back.
This really should be corrected at by a professional electrician who will begin examining and troubleshooting your main electrical service and testing circuits in order to identify the problem area.
Thank you for your info, it really helped allot,
Lisa.

It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
