I'd probably give it a shot without the little one followin me around, but I know just enough about electricity to kill myself as is.

Yeah it's dangerous. I took my first 220 shock the other day, and let me tell you, it's like getting kicked by a forkin' mule. Painful and scary. Call a pro if you aren't sure.

About all I remember about capacitors from engineering school is that they can kill you easily, and it don't matter how long the power's been out. So I called a guy I trust and he had it swapped in 10 minutes.

That depends on the cap and small motor caps normally wouldn't cause you any harm. The proper handling of a cap is to put a screwdriver across the terminals, carefully :lol: .

And if the cap is blown, the charge is already out of them. That is why it was not starting the motor.

Be sure to clean out the fins good, probably what caused it to blow in the first place.
