Does the GFI hold without the bal lwasher plugged in to it? If it does hold, you have a problem with the ball washer.
Replace the ballwasher.
Replace the ballwasher.
I recently attended a training seminar at UL. They spent some time talking about GFCI's and the concerns about nuisance tripping. Their claim is that the new technology used in GFCI's should eliminate almost all nusiance tripping. If you are getting nuisance trips you may have leakage from the appliance and it should be replaced.
