viper tripping breaker

Start off by saying my name is Robert, I am waiting for the passwerd thing to get into my account. I have a Montego Bay Viper Gold Edition. Friday evening in the middle of a session the bed tripped a breaker. PC Marketing suggested to check the internals for any burns or leaks. I found a few wires that had been pretty badly burnt. Called PC back and he said the Capacitor was Probably bad. Ordered 4, recieved them on Saturday< over nighted these suckers. PC suggested just replace the one with the burnt wires did so. Bed ran well for 1 day. Today it happened again, middle of a session tripped breaker. Different capacitor, different trey, all new burnt wires. Replaced cap #2. Bed ran for 1 12minute session and tripped breaker again. Wires slightly burnt so replace cap. Lasted about 6min and tripped again. I think there is something else going on other then bad CAPS. When testing resistance there is no difference in how the old and new test. Any ideas would be great.
