Trips circuit My Bloomfield 8751 will brew one pot of coffee and then will trip the GFI circuit. If I try to reset the circuit, it won't allow me to reset until I unplug the 8751. It's only good for one pot and then I can't use it for several hours. Any suggestions? Jim

Do you mean the machine will not heat up?

It is leaking to earth due to spilliage on the connections I expect.
It is not safe to use in that condition.

GFI safety trips whenever it detects moisture. Normally this happens when water splashes over when filling or brewing coffee. This has happened to me several times. You must dry the machine out totally inside and out. I have used a hair dryer successfully both times. It is possible that you have a short circuit. If you want to veryif that it is moisture and not a short circuit, plug your unit into an outlet that is not GFI protected. If it kicks the breaker, then you definately have a short circuit in the machine. This would require dismantling the machine to find where hot wires have come into contact with bare gound.

Chances are while you have a 20amp circuit in your kitchen the gfi you are plugging into is rated at 15amps. First make sure your outlet is connected to a 20amp circuit breaker and then change out the gfi for a 20amp one. This coffee pot is more for commercial than residential usage, I had the same problem until I changed out the gfi plug.

Remove top panel and check the electrical wires for damage.

Check the top of the tank something is leaking onto the electrical contacts.

It sounds like the power filter(capacitor) located under the pump is damaged.

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.

There is an electrical problem with the brewer.
