SOURCE: Bunn GRX-B 10 cup coffee brewer kicks breaker when we turn it on
If you just bought this brewer, ask your retailer if they will replace it. if not, you can get ahold of the bunn warranty department in your country. they will give you instructions on getting a replacement. This brewer has a dead short in it.
SOURCE: Motor labouring - electric breaker kicking out
The problem that you describe could be casued by several problems that you can check yourself. I usually begin by checking the in-tank check valve for leaking air back to the pump. Follow the air discharge hose to the tank and you will find the brass checkvalve. With about 80psi in the tank, unplug the unit from the wall and loosen the smaller fitting (or larger whichever is easier ) at the checkvalve and listen for air leak. If leaking replace with generic valve available at www.grainger.com. Just pay attention to pipe sizes. If no leaks at check valve, remove capacitors from the motor (mark the leads) and test with meter. Repair shops usually test for free if you do not have a meter that can test capacitors. The caps should test within 95% of rating printed on side. Replace with generic to save money just watch size so that they will fit under cover (also available at grainger). If no problems so far, remove the belt and check bearings on motor and compressor for noise (should be relative silent as your turn it by hand). Worn bearings on the motor will cause the motor to overheat. Worn bearings on compressor will just make noise but usually not cause your problem. If all good, then problem could be valves in pump leaking causing the pump to become very hot. This is a visual inspection by removing the head. Finally the electric motor uses sealed bearings and cannot be lubed, only replaced due to age. Good luck

check the condensor on top of the roof, make sure it is clean from lint and dirt, and the fins are not bent. Turn off the power and wash it down with a water hose, then let it dry out restore the power and see if that stops the breaker problem, you could also take the cover off the breaker box, and turn off the a/c breaker and try tightening the screws that hold the power wires to the a/c unit.

When you drain and refill most spas you will get an air lock in the plumbing. You will need to find the drain valve and open it to flood the pipes. It's possible you may have burnt the element and may have to replace it. Hopefully the breaker kicking spared you this expense. Myself I burnt two of them before I learned. Good luck.
