Crt monitors are the stereotypical "surprise, you just pushed the dead button!” device, but microwaves too.
Their transformers are the bit that kills the most hobbiests though. Crazy high frequency high voltage transformer that chooses not to fuck around when you plop it in your project.
Same except different. A microwave cap stores more current than most HVAC systems do. That doesn’t mean you should play with those caps either if you don’t understand what you are looking at.
Don’t they say not to take apart microwaves because the capacitor could shock and kill you? Is it the same with HVAC capacitors?
Yup.

You should be careful, but it’s not hard to drain them real quick before working on them.
Well that’s the point
But the thing is that it shouldn’t be considered so scary that you pay someone 500 to replace an easy to replace 15 dollar part.
