3 Discharging the High-Voltage Capacitor
Note
Although the high-voltage capacitor contains an internal bleed resistor to
automatically discharge the capacitor, the following procedure must be
performed! Do not rely on a functioning resistor!
Unplug the appliance.
Remove the cover. See Cover Removal, 001 4.5.
Using an insulated-handled screwdriver, touch the blade from one terminal on the
capacitor to the other terminal on the capacitor. This may result in a rather
startling pop!
Using the same insulated-handled screwdriver, touch the blade from each
terminal on the capacitor to the frame (ground) of the appliance.
