Worked fine til I shut it off due to a city wide boil order. Turned back on and tripped GFI. Repair guy replaced recirculating pump. Still tripped. GFI replaced still tripped. Now repair guy says I need to change the 20A breaker because it must have messed up the entire electrical circuit. Is that even possible? Any ideas on what the issue could be?

Faulty appliance.

I would like to hear how the appliance messed up the building wiring.

Breakers do NOT mess up wiring !
The repair guy is speaking non- sense.
I would suggest you get a proper
Experienced and knowledgable electrician
To look at it instead !
It could be -
1 - wrong type/ size breaker.
2 - problems with building wiring
causing problems with the gfci.
3 - Electrical leakage in the appliance.
Most of these problems are best tackled
by an electrician.

You probably have some moisture/water accumulated in the electrics causing electric leakage to ground! Dry the appliance.

Thanks for replying. I think they haven't correctly diagnosed the issue with the ice maker. That it has nothing to do with the breaker
