Dishwasher Tripping GFCI

I have a Bosch dishwasher with a stainless steel tub that is tripping my GFCI. I replaced the outlet with a new one and that seemed to solve the problem however it is now doing the same thing. It has a heating element for the water. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this problem? Thank you.

Dishwasher plugs into a GFCI? (I've only seen direct hardwired). Or, is a countertop GFCI nearby, tripping out.

is the Bosch the only thing running on that GFCI circuit when it trips? My guess is that it is an overload which is causing that circuit to trip.

New Quality Well Built Side x Side Fridge?

Happs on Jun 08, 2008

I'm in the market for a new 25cu ft side x side refrigerator and it seems like the majority of the reviews I read on consumer opinion websites about the major brands you find at home improvement stores and appliance stores are negative, indicating that most popular brands are junk these days and that compressors and icemakers fail very fast. Is there a particular brand that is old fashioned and built to last, particularly in the icemaker and compressor? I live in AZ and need ice and water regularly during the hot summers. I have a Subzero from 1986 in my garage that's never had a problem. I wish it was smaller and had an icemaker and water dispenser through the door.Read More
