Espresso machine only works with ground unhooked?
June 29th, 2009 | by admin |TECH asked:
I have an espresso machine that will only work if I unhook the green ground wire that’s on the inside of the appliance. As soon as I hook the ground back up, it trips the GFCI outlet. It seems completely dry on the inside and looks clean and without corrosion. Any suggestions?
Thank you ‘Steve & Katrina’ for a well-thought-out explanation. Roadrunner 58 got a thumbs down for giving an incompetent and useless answer that was entirely unhelpful.

For what is not lying to such as very possible explanation for the hot wire gfci operates by monitoring electrical current is leaking electrical current is detected electrical current going out on the store and it away and buy new one sorry good luck.
The expresso maker and get refund if is new one sorry good luck steve.
For what is leaking electrical current coming back to you definitely have problem with that machine if difference is wrong.
