GFCI Issue

[Tyson Rippey]

I recently had an electrician stop by my house because my GFCI outlet keeps tripping in my kitchen and I didn't know why. It's the only one in the house that trips. I also run my dishwasher via that outlet, but it trips regardless of whether the dishwasher is on or not. The electrician replaced the GFCI outlet but it didn't help. What should I do now?

Thanks,

Tyson

I can add the GFCI is doing it’s job to prevent a shock. Very very seldom are GFCIs faulty
