EIMGD55IIW5 Electrolux Dryer trips GFCI outlet

[Ten13]

Hello all,

My Electrolux Dryer keeps tripping the GFCI outlet but does not trip circuit breaker. I normally have both the washing machine and dryer plugged into the same outlet. 1st thing I did was replace the GFCI outlet. New outlet also tripped (circuit breaker did not). Ran washing machine as only appliance plugged into GFCI outlet, no problems. Ran only dryer, outlet tripped circuit breaker OK. Plugged dryer into normal outlet and it runs fine without tripping the circuit breaker for that outlet. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Some of the newer appliances just don't want to work with GFCI.

That said, see what your GFCI is rated at. Some are only rated at 15 amps, whereas others are 20 amps.
