Well, apparently I am working through this... I pulled the heating element and plugged it into the machine while is was dipped into a separate silicone cup filled with water to isolate it from the chassis ground. It did not trip the GFCI. BUT when I reinstalled it... it also didn't trip the GFCI... so... maybe the insulation is a
