Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

ANY electrical/mechanical device or system, may be flawed from manufacturer to installation. The SIMPLE solution is usually the most overlooked. NEVER ASSUME THE CIRCUIT/ASSEMBLY/DEVICE was ever CORRECT. Most devices that begin to shake or vibrate, are not out of balance! Many times prior mistakes are unknowingly copied.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

IT IS COMMON THAT SOMEONE BEFORE YOU MADE A MISTAKE ON THE ORIGINAL INSTALLATION OR DEVICE, BE IT REPAIRED OR NEW FROM THE BOX. NEVER ASSUME WHAT IS ALREADY THERE IS OR WAS CORRECT. If a repair professional gives you information that doesn't make sense to you, it probably doesn't make sense period. If in doubt, get another opinion.
