Hi, I suppose that you talk about an electric geyser.
It is important to know if tripping is the result of a shortcut or via the earth leakage switch.
In the fist case, often insulation is somewhere gone.
But more likely is the second possibility.
then there can be somewhere a little leak in the water circuit and condensation goes on the wires and they become conductive to small currents, specialy to the earth wire.
If your GFCI is tripping, it could be due to a bad heater element, pump, blower or ozonator. To determine which component is causing the problem, unplug the components one at a time and turn the breaker on. If the breaker does not trip after unplugging the pump, ozonator or blow, you've found the problem and you can now replace that component. If you've unplugged all three components and the breaker still trips, it's likely the heater element. Hiring a technician or replacing the heater is the next best course of action.
how big is the trip? the most likley thing this is,,, its an earth leake from the heating coil or there is a spark on the thermostat switch,,,,every time it switches its self on or off the trip pops out? yes?
check it out for earth leaks? ,,,befor it kills you!,,,,
your motor thermal safety relay is protecting the motor from burning out this is usually caused by: an old motor about to fail (tight shaft bearings) bad centrifical switch or, an obstruction in the water flow causing the motor to work too hard (draw too many amps, get too hot then cool down and, start up again check the relay it is located on the side of the motor on most motors; under a cover; unless the motor is bad the relay may just be too sensitive (old) and, may need to be replaced.
yes it could, it might even be the motor, take the electric suply and unplug it see if you can turn the shaft on the motor if not it froze up,, sometimes the get wet and seize, the you have to get a new motor
does it have a heater in the circulation line, it should be under the cover and would be in line on the 2 inch pipe that feeds the jets, it should also be on a gfci, check to make sure it is plugged in if this is plugged in and not tripped you need to install a new heater
