My kitchen sink area countertops have 2 electrical plugs.
The one on the left side, about 3 feet from the sink is a GFCI style and the other plug, about 5 feet to the right is just a standard plug.
We have only lived here about 3 months and a couple of times we’ve had problems with the GFCI plug tripping and I had to push the button to reset the breaker in the plug.
That plugs breaker has tripped a few times and the only things we have had plugged in it were 2 of those wireless charging pads for cell phones.
Recently, we had a laptop AC plugged into the other plug (Non GFCI) on the other side of the countertop and that plug wasn’t working and I looked and the chargers were not working and sure enough the GFCI plug was tripped again. When I reset it, then the other plug worked..WTH??
It appears that when we put even a light load like a laptop charger into the non GFCI plug , that can trip the GFCI plug.
