In the title text it is mentioned that Cueball is holding up a three-phase motor that he has taken from the humidifier. Normally when a person repairing an appliance shows you a part, they are showing you the part of the machine that was broken. In this comic however, Cueball is just showing off a (presumably) random part of the machine and stating that the problem is that the machine it came from is broken – something that was already known and unlikely to help find the root cause of the problem. In addition, it is unlikely that the part being held ever would have worked, because three-phase motors won't work on residential power in North America. Residential humidifiers use {{w|Single-phase_electric_power|single-phase voltage}}, while three-phase equipment uses {{w|Three-phase_electric_power|three-phase voltage}}. | In the title text it is mentioned that Cueball is holding up a three-phase motor that he has taken from the humidifier.
