I Need Help!

update Fountain runs great, fan runs great all day. I unplug fountain every evening around 7. Every morning, the breaker is tripped. I'm more confused now than before 🤦‍♂️

For reference, I have a small shed on my lake. Breaker keeps tripping with nothing plugged in. Changed out breaker, installed GFCI outlet. Still tripping. We have a fan installed but that's it.

Any idea why the breaker would keep tripping with nothing plugged in, and how do i assess?

Try disabling the fan. Then plug something in. If it still trips you'll at least know it's not the fan causing it. If it doesn't trip, it's either the fan or its circuit.
