I don't know what specifically your issue is. That being said, I've had many GFCIs go bad. I'm in a house that was built new 15 years ago. I had to replace four GFCI outlets just this year that were tripping all on their own. Also had a GFCI breaker in the main-panel-box go bad. That was a Square D type Q0. A new one would cost $40. I eliminated it. I don't use GFCIs on anything that are plugged in to something important and need the power to be on. Like a battery maintainer, engine block heater, refrigerator, freezer, and/or animal water-heater. Note that a GFCI can trip on a circuit that is OK but has too long a run or capacitance.
I'm not trying to put ideas in your head. For me - NO GFCIs on anything that I rely on to be powered and it's not where I can see it. If you are a code-compliance worrier - NEC exempts most outdoor outlets If dedicated to one appliance. If you have a tractor that needs a block heater plugged in most of the winter, you can likely install a single receptacle and have it dedicated to the block heater and not be required to have a GFCI involved. But don't take my word for it. Read the NEC that has jurisdiction in your area (if you live in a code area). For myself, I don't care what some blow-hard says is "best" at the code-factory. I'll consider their suggestions and then use what suits my situation the best. I WOULD want to determine though that the block-heater is not defective in some way.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
