YS640 Keeps TRIPPING GFCI

Only had my smoker for a few weeks. Turned it on today and fan came on for a few minutes and tripped the GFCI. Did some trouble shooting. I unplugged the igniter and the gfci did not trip. I tested the igniter with a meter as suggested in the manual but it tested good (155 ohms). I tried another circuit which also has gfi and tripped as well. Only trips after I press the start button. Any other suggestions.
