Often it is the GFI itself. If it trips at the same point during the cycle determine what is on when it trips, this may provide a clue. Remove the kick plate and check that you do not have a small leak. Normally a dishwasher, fridge etc. are not recommended to be run off a GFI but this varies by area re: electrical code. As motors age they become electrically noisy and this can trip GFI's.
