It has been several hours after the initial trip so the room humidity should have dissipated as well. I've removed the fan cover and had a quick look but there wasn't an "obvious" issue e.g., dust, moisture.
I might be able to recall one other time several years ago when this GFCI tripped that might have been due to high draw, but that just required a simple reset. I'll Google some more and troubleshoot but if anyone has any pointers, I'm all ears!
