I just swapped a brushless DC 12V fan on my LG RC185 VCR. Please excuse the abomination that is the MacGyvered contacts. Forgot to order new these:

So that’s my excuse. Anyway…
Is it okay to let the cord lean/rest against capacitors and whatnot?

My first thought was “you’re wrong, ‘caps’ (Capacitors) don’t generate heat!” But yeah, That’s pure based on the title. In the picture the wires seem to rest against a heat-sink. Either way, it’s best to tie them out of the way.
I actually don’t know much about electronics, but I have a speaker system where capacitors are known to get hot then the sound starts to crackle after about 5 hours.
Here’s some info from the web though…
