Page 2 GFCI on AC power cord

Geo-TH,In · Apr 25, 2017

A friend wanted me to fix his window AC. The GFCI would trip as soon as I plugged it in. So I removed the ground wire from AC frame and GFCI still tripped. I took GFCI apart and as I suspected it had rain water in it. GERRRRRR. Took a hair dryer and now all is good.

I seem to be having a run of rain related issues.

How many times have you repaired something because it was left out in the rain?

Geo, you need to learn when to turn folks away. That's why the make all this disposable stuff made in China - for those who can't or won't take care of what they have.
