I have my Giotto plugged into a timer, which is plugged into a GFCI outlet.
One morning as I was getting ready for work and the machine was turned on for maybe an hour, I heard the GFCI trip. Since then the Giotto trips the GFCI right away when it's turned on.
I've opened up the machine and so far I've found out that if I unplug one of the wires into the boiler, it will stop tripping the GFCI.
Any suggestions on what the problem might be and how I might go about fixing it?
If the wire that you unplug is to the element, then that makes it very likely. From what I read GFI pop is often caused by the element on many machines.
You might try it on another GFCI outlet as they can become more sensitive over time or after repeated triggering (or so I have been told), but odds are good that it is the element. It could be caused by a slight leak around the external element connections, but a pinhole in the element itself is the likely cause.
