Hi there everyone. My name is Rudy, and I wanted to bounce an issue off some of you folks.
I have a GFCI outlet in the garage. It has a green LED indicator on it. When I go to test it, it appears to be operating properly. Meaning the LED goes off and devices on other outlets in the garage stop working. The only thing plugged in on other circuits is a sprinkler timer.
It seems every few days, the GFCI has tripped. I go press the reset button and its fine again. I thought it may be the sprinkler timer that is somehow causing the issue so I unplugged it and ran it to a different GFCI protected outler via an extension cord. While the original outlet once again tripped (w/o the sprinkler on it), the other gfci outler did not. SO that makes me think the GFCI trips for some other reason. What could it be ?? How do I trouble shoot a GFCI that seems to reset and test fine but keeps tripping ? Thanks in advance
