Default Fridge and GFCI trips

small fan with two wire cord & all plastic construction (including
housing & fan on/off, two speed switch) mounted to a wooden window

Trips GFI about 50% of the time when switched quickly from high speed
to low speed and sometimes when switching off.

Where is the leakage to ground? Seems like something else is
happening.

oh, I tired the fan on four different GFI's ...trips on two of them
but never on the "other" two !?

Are the GFI's "bad" (and which ones?) or is the fan a problem?


Good example. I guess the the fan shouldn't trip the the GFI--were
the two that tripped of recent vintage?
