Suddenly, unless I plugged into a non GFCI shore power outlet, the GFCI would trip. My 44 year old plug looked suspicious as the individual wires have been creeping out of it gradually for years. However, before I amputated the cord end and put on an aftermarket new four pronged 50 amp plug, I did some trouble shooting. There was indeed some high resistance between the hot wire and the ground which disappeared when I turned off the vacuum cleaner breaker. Now I can plug into the GFCI without it tripping. Have not started trouble shooting the vacuum cleaner outlet or the vacuum cleaner itself. With my luck, some mice probably took up residence in the vacuum cleaner electrical and chewed through the wires. Anyone else experience this problem?
