WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power supply
before servicing the capacitor. The capacitor is capable
of storing voltage that could be lethal. Do not touch the
bare connector terminals.

Some models have a flat plastic spacer between the
capacitor shell and the motor. Retain the guard and
the spacer for reassembly.

been dissipated by placing a 100-ohm, 2-watt resistor
across the terminals, or by placing a screwdriver blade
between the terminals and grounding the screwdriver to
the cooktop for several seconds.
3. Carefully discharge both capacitor wire harness
terminals as described above.
