Calendar Event: GFCI Problem Posted: 12 May 2013 at 8:00pm |
Hi all - We just ran into an electrical problem on our 177. When I plugged in my phone to charge in the GFI outlet, it tripped the breaker on the electrical hook-up. I couldn't get the GFI to reset and whenever I tried tor reset the breaker on the hook-up box, it immediately tripped. Several hours later, I could reset the breaker on the hook-up and then I could reset the GFI and all was well.What should I have done differently?

Welcome. At what point in the sequence did you unplug your phone?

I noticed that it wasn't charging right away and unplugged it. I then checked on the hook-up and then tried to reset the GFI.

I had a similar thing happen and it turned out that there was a water leak caused by the drain coupler under the sink leaking on to the connectors there.

Sounds like a good possibility, thadd. I was curious if the phone was still plugged in when it wouldn't reset but my theory is shot.
BTW, I moved this over to the podmods sub-forum.
