If your GFCI circuit breaker keeps popping...

Couldn't figure out why our gfci circuit breaker kept popping during a rainstorm, despite several resets. The outside outlet is covered and is dry.

Then I noticed the fridge had switched to gas. Hmmm, that must be on the gfci circuit. Pulled the outside access panel and it appeared some moisture was getting to the outlet where the fridge is plugged into. Since I was getting soaked in the rain I fashioned a temporary shield to protect the outlet from the rain.

That took care of the problem.

I didn't realize the fridge is on that gfci circuit. So, bottom line, keep that in mind if you have gfci breaker popping problems.
