<br>
Part of the renovation added two circuits with GFI breakers in our electrical box. Well, it seems when the Blendtech kicks in to high speed there must be an induction of current into another circuit as one of the new GFI breakers trips. Not the one with the blender on it, but another one! Am guessing the wires are running in parallel to tightly packed going through holes in the floor joists.<br>
<br>
And it doesn't happen every time the blender kicks into high, only if it had something heavy to blend. Filling the jar with water won't produce the sympathetic tripping.<br>
<br>
The circuit being tripped isn't in the kitchen but runs the lights and outlets in the breakfast area, so I'm replacing it with a non-GFI one.<br>
