My house is two years old. This afternoon my Gfci outlet started tripping

reset button and nothing stops it,it just keeps resetting after a
minute or
two it will stop and reset correctly. Is there a wiring problem or as the
outlet gone bad prematurely?




If there is nothing plugged into it and it's now wet, is it feeding a
second outlet down-line. I'd check that.

Otherwise, yes it's possible that it could be defective
