The freezer is just a couple months old, energy star name brand & all has been fine until today. We had rain & wind last night, but the freezer's in the garage plugged into a socket on an interior wall. Just today I noticed that the freezer was off, & found the GFCI was popped. It would reset for some seconds, then pop again when the freezer was turned back on. Nothing else different was on the line, & no other higher volt using appliances were running when the GFCI kept popping. I plugged the freezer into a different outlet in the garage using an extension cord, reset the GFCI, & all is well. The GFCI hasn't popped since. Is this a bad GFCI or ? ? ? ? Many thanks, homeowners.
