Figure there must be a short somewhere - couldn't find one. I took it apart and noticed the filter was filthy. Since I hadn't cleaned it in awhile I figure it overheated and shut down - my bad. Now that it's cleaned it still trips. The schematic for the first circuit board shows various switches, sensors, etc. But not a kill switch - for which I was hoping. I hate to scrap it, everything looks almost pristine.
Before you scrap it , me id plug it into a regular circuit an try it and if it still trips breaker then yes dump it, IVE seen this happen plenty of times , really you shouldn't plug devices into a gfci that have motors in them , they will most times false trip and shut the device off , this is especially bad when its a freezer in a basement or something motor driven appliances and gfci's don't play well together .
