My brand spanking new model two trips the GFCI. I am certain it is not the GFCI (tried on other GFCI, and replaced the first one tripped and that one was a full 20 amp unit, and all the GFCI's work with other appliances). I took the back off the first unit, checked the ground wire (silly but a good check), and I measured leakage to ground of the element and got a reading of several ohms. So I convinced smokin-it to send me a new element. It checked out at zero ohms before install so I thought I would be good. Installed it and ran it a bit to cook off any residual oils or who knows what, and in a few minutes that one popped the gfci also. I should and will check the resistance from element to ground again.....
ANY IDEAS ON SOLUTIONS ?
I am so frustrated. And I would return the thing if I did not have to disassemble the base and pack the entire unit up AND pay for shipping! So far a terrible experience.
