Thanks, to you and Edwin. The wire is running through
conduit. Shouldn't it
be weatherproof against heavy (but normal, expected)
rain?

=== Yes, it should be as you questioned. If
necessary, you could suggest you may have to talk to
the code enforcement office to get them to get out
there and fix the installation. Something isn't right
if the GFCI opens spontaneously like that. Otherwise
you'll have to get used to wondering what/where it's
tripping from, the nuisance trips, and/or paying for
the final fix yourself.
An electrician should know better than to tell you
what he said.

I agree with the guy that they do seem to do that.
If you had a
licensed electrician put the thing in I would not
sweat it. If though
the feed somehow could have gotten wet, that's what
gfci is intended to
react to, which may indicate some sort of leak
somewhere ? Did they
run the outdoor wire thru a conduit and all that
jazz ?
