Noonie knows exactly what this unit is doing and knows how to diagnose it...
...but, he's telling you to have someone that's trained look at it.
You ask WHY?
Because he also knows that the general person can cause several OTHER issues
before they MIGHT stumble on to the actual problem.
Not to meantion, you MIGHT already have a potential HAZARD with your unit.
When was the last time you had it inspected?
