Good Morning!
I'm into the finishing stages of my bathroom remodel and am having an "issue" with the GFCI outlet.
I have a double gang box that houses a GFCI outlet and a double light switch. The power comes into the box and it split with one leg going to the GFCI and the other feeding the double light switch. Nothing is wired to the load side of the GFCI.
Sometimes when you turn off one of the switches the GFCI will trip. I noticed this Monday and replaced both the switch and the GFCI with new units. I thought I was in the clear, but the situation repeated itself this morning.
I know that there is going to be arcing in the switch and am assuming that the GFCI is detecting this.
Is there anything I can do to eliminate this situation?
This is wired exactly the same way it was before and I didn't experience this problem (at least I can't recall).
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
