Your ground is touching a hot wire. Replacing the ground wire will only, will not fix the problem. You must find where the short (ground to hot) is. Hopefully, it was not shorted long enough to melt the insulation from the wires behind a cabinet. If the short is due to melted wires, it can be intermittent. With an ohms meter you can see that the system is shorted without plugging it in to 120-volts. Much safer, and will not melt the wires even more.
If an intermittent short, you don't know when the wires will touch. It can cause a fire, even with a breaker. I would not plug into 120 until I found the problem. I would not leave the TC unattended and plugged in till I was sure the problem was resolved.
