Which ground are you talking about, the ground from the arduino that connects to the temp probes and the relay board, or the ground that comes in from your house power? Don't connect your house power ground to the relay board.
I suspect that your relay board or if in fact you are using an ssr, your ssr is bad. You can swap your freezer with the heater and reconfigure your devices and see if your freezer kicks on.
Thank you. Swapping the heater and freezer fixed the problem. Now the outlet that had only 56V measures 120V and runs the heater just fine. The other outlet runs the freezer. Wish I could understand why this simple adjustment fixed the problem. I really need to take an electrical class!
As for the ground, here is the schematic I was referring to with the ground wire indicated by an arrow. I was missing this ground in my original build of my BrewPi.
