It keeps throwing the GFI and shuts down the electricity.
How can I find out if it is a minor problem (minor electrical leakage)
or enough to hurt someone (aside from sticking my hand in)? *Is there
a simple test, e.g hook up a probe?
Are sump pumps made to be operating in a enclosed water tight
compartment? *I ask because the pump has a drainage hole on the side,
which perhaps is there only for draining out water once it gets
inside.


You dont put a frige on a gfi, I would not put a sump on one.
