I have a water circulator that worked fine plugged in the GFCI outlet in the bathroom. Currently the GFCI trips anytime the water circulator is plugged in even when the water circulator is turned off. Plugging it while off trips the GFCI. I checked the plug and device, they appear dry. Other devices don’t trip the outlet.

If it's tripping the GFCI it is almost certainly defective. you could ask a second GFCI for a second opinion.
