GFI help

Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a great spring!
We have a 2006 3400 and a problem with the GFI that is between the kitchen and living room.We replaced the GFI as we thought it was a faulty one, then it kicked and wouldn't reset with the new one, so we had a mobile rv guy come out and he replaced it and it was fine for about a month. Now the same problem.We unplugged my coffee maker that is between the stove and refrig. and the GFI works. Any suggestions? Does that mean that the plug that my coffee maker is bad or???? Hubby is no electrician HELP !
Thanks, Chris

Plug the coffee maker into the GFI outlet. If it trips-coffee maker is probably the culprit, if not, the outlet where you usually plug the coffee maker in is more than likely the problem. May be loose wires on the outlet.

I had basically the same problem except mine would only trip if it was damp out. I eventually found bad wires in the outlet under the lamp between the couch and table, curb side.
