Problem for Breville ESP8XL Espresso Machine

Trips GFI circuit brakers




By joerodriguez on Jul 30, 2009

" "
My recently acquired ESP8XL trips GFI circuit brakers after about 30 - 40 seconds of turning on the machine (warming Up). But if I connect it to a non GFI receptacle, the machine is able to work as intended. What might be the problem?

First of all, lets clarify what is going on. You say it trips the GFI breaker, so I'm assuming that it is not a GFCI receptacle that you are plugging into. So you are going to the electrical panel and resetting the GFCI breaker.  If it were a GFCI receptacle, have you tried other loads in this receptacle for 30-40 seconds, ie: Toaster, hairdryer, coffee pot? If everything works fine then there is something wrong with the ESP8XL. It would seem that there is a leakage path to ground from one of the conductors. If it is new, bring it back.
