Hi @marloncruz54560

You need to work out what outlets the GFI supplies in the house. If there are two GFIs then the house outlets will be divided between the two so you need to work out which half of the house is supplied by which GFI

Start by unplugging all devices/appliances connected to the wall outlets in the house which you think are being supplied by the GFI that trips (if only 1 GFI unplug the lot) and then check if the GFI holds.

If it still doesn't hold then there's either a wiring problem or the GFI is faulty.

If it holds then start plugging in each device/appliance that you previously disconnected, one at a time and check if the GFI holds or trips again, before plugging in the next device/appliance.

When it trips then the last device/appliance that you plugged in is causing the GFI to trip and is faulty.

Edit your question above (click on Options - Edit in your question) and insert the make and model number of the device/appliance stating that it trips the GFI to get more information on how to possibly fix it.
