Maytag Washer and GFI

I have a Maytag Atlantis washer and ever since I had my house rewired and had GFI's installed in the basement, I've noticed my washing machine would stop before the rinse cycle. The washer will fill with water then when it goes into rinse it trips the GFI. Does anyone know what may be causing this? I have heard that GFI's are not good for appliances, but this is about 3 feet from my stationary tub and I want the extra protection. I wonder if something is leaking internally when the washer fills with water, any other ideas? Thanks for the responses.
