I have a Bosch dishwasher with a stainless steel tub that is tripping my GFCI. I replaced the outlet with a new one and that seemed to solve the problem however it is now doing the same thing. It has a heating element for the water. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this problem? Thank you.

Dishwasher plugs into a GFCI? (I've only seen direct hardwired). Or, is a countertop GFCI nearby, tripping out.

is the Bosch the only thing running on that GFCI circuit when it trips? My guess is that it is an overload which is causing that circuit to trip.
