with the sprinkler unplugged. If I waited a few hours, then I can reset
it and plug the sprinkler back in. I have replaced the GFCI outlet, but
the new one is doing the same thing. Is the sprinkler box the culprit?
Sounds like the GFCI is doing its job! There is probably a current leak
somewhere in the sprinkler system that is exacerbated by the water. When it
dries out, you can reset the GFCI again.
GET IT FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS ELECTROCUTED! |
I agree with John, get it fixed
