Paul, thanks for the feedback. I have lost count of how many GFCI's I've had go bad over the years and for no more then the cost or trouble maybe just try another one if resetting or cleaning or other things don't cure the problem. If she still trips and its only the heater that does it you found the problem for not all that much work or money.
There are a few NEC exceptions for items such as say a critical fridge or freezer kept maybe in a garage etc. and as I best recall the non GFCI's (exceptions) have to be in a normally NON accessible location like hidden away behind the freezer (NOT where its easy and normal to plug something in) plus they are single outlets NOT duplex receptacles.
Regardless of any NEC requirements or non requirements or your jurisdiction they are designed and where required TO SAVE A PERSONS LIFE so exercise good sound judgment in your decision to use one or not use one THE LIFE IT SAVES MAY BE YOURS OR A CHILD OR GRANDCHILD. Sure a lot of lay persons or non professionals or non engineers or electricians poke fun or make light of the NEC or even a GFCI but they do so at their own risk, as an electrical engineer I believe in them, but feel free to do as you please or what some Billy Bob may advise lol
Best wishes, keep safe yall even if you you're smarter then the panel of experts who make up the NEC board.
