If it does it ONCE, and you don't see an obvious
reason for it,
chalk it up as an aberration. if it KEEPS tripping,
then you
have a problem.



NO, you had the problem the first time, too, but chose
to ignore the possibility that a problem was there.
Not a wise decision in most cases, with best case being
it's a negligible problem.



GFCIs are subject to nuisance trips. As a practical mater, the
electrician is likely to find nothing, and depending on what is
downstream from the GFCI they may spend a lot of time finding nothing.
Seems to me it is entirely reasonable to see if the trip reoccurs.
