Pool Cover Motor

check for neutral to ground fault as well as line to ground fault. If a GFCI is tripping there is a ground fault somewhere. especially if replacing the GFCI did not help the problem. Meghommeters can help find these problems quickly sometimes.

All it takes is a small little crack or score in the insulation of the circuit conductors feeding from the switch to the motor to trip a GFCI, and since almost all underground conduits will have water/moisture in them, it doesn't take much to cause enough current to flow through a break in the insulation to cause a GFCI to trip.

My Volt-con by Ideal has a 600k ohm continuity tester that will read continuity in a case like this, makes for quick trouble shooting. but it sounds like you have found the problem.
