Good info. I've used the smaller ceramic capacitors that were rated 15kv 10ma that bit me a few times. I learned the hard way to make sure those babies were discharged. Ive never dealt with the bigger capacitors like the ones in microwaves. I see now that the discharge procedure is the same.
Man…. This was a great video! No bullshit on the content… and some cool flashbacks. When I was a kid I got my arm caught in one of those washers before… the roller pins. I was in so much pain and still got my ass whipped! 🤣🤣🤣. Good stuff
I didn't need to see this video, but I needed to see that hair!!!! Great job keeping life fun for the masses and also for keeping us from getting electrocuted!
Uh....and make sure you're not grounded or touching the microwave body. Did you see where the arc went when he shorted the capacitor? To the edge of the capacitor and the metal back panel of the microwave. Also, some tools have foam instead of rubber, and they say on them, "Will not insulate from electric shock". You may want to NOT use those types either.
It did not arc to the chassis, why would it go there when there's a dead short through the pliers? The spark just exploded outwards, as they do. If it could reach to the chassis, it would do that all the time.
Finally.....someone who actually discharged one of these beasts in real time.... bravo ! By the way... "capac-i-tator" ?...haha, got it... I guess that's Southern speak for capacitor, eh? Cheers.
I dont understand, ive been watching multiple videos on how to do this safely and seen advice in this video repeated, as well as negative comments warning not to do it this way. He just did it in real time, what is the danger? I'm asking to be more educated
My first thought: Should I trust someone who doesn't know how to say "capacitor"? Ah, but maybe he just throws in the extra syllable for a little extra humor. ... OK, I'll keep listening.
dude thank you so much for this. Every place gives the same instructions as you, but every fucking place scares the hell out of you over that tiny spark. He is 100% right, use a insulated tool, and you should be fine.
You make me slightly more comfortable discharging mine, despite your casual demeanor!
Came for the way the guy was dressed, was not disappointed!

This guy needs to be in more videos!

Ya just spend some money on a discharge tool and remover to unplug the microwave first
my friend was killed by a microwave capacitor. he must of been grounded

@@davidvankeuren6575 His parents grounded him for breaking the microwave.
I want this guy at my non-existent wedding

Such fun to watch. Gracias mucho funny man!
thanks for showing!!!
Appliance and mattress?
would a chicken stick work? (pvc pipe with a lead at the end)
So discharging isn't as scary as it seems... long as I have rubber handles?
Friend of mine has 4 or 5 washers that have little gas engines on them
great advice, especially mama's washer
Don't use plier for 2100volts it won't just be your hair you'd be worrying about 😂

Hell yeah brother!
It has the electricities
"HI IM KENNY ROGERS, WELCOME TO JACKASS!!!"
It's safer to discharge that capacitor with a resistor
dude thank you so much for this. Every place gives the same instructions as you, but every fucking place scares the hell out of you over that tiny spark. He is 100% right, use a insulated tool, and you should be fine.
most insulated tools on the market are rated for 1,000 volts. Have fun discharging a fully charged 2,100 volt capacitor with one…
@@am529 only it won't be fully charged unless the unit is still plugged into the wall.
Fills me w/ confidence.
you need a maytag with a lawnboy engine!
This guy is cool.
Hello, liked the video.
Next time use zoom so we can see WTH you’re showing us…
Electronic Scotty! revvvv up your engines!

Touch what I didn’t see clearly
Follow this advice at your peril. For $50 - $200 buy a new one unless your life is worth less than that.
It’s not gonna curl your hair. It can stop your heart. Very dangerous.
Explained and showed nothing.
Ca-pa-ci-tor. There is no “ta” syllable in “capacitor.”
Well done on failing to understand the joke, despite the multiple explicit indications that he's pretending to be a dumb hick.
IF you call yourself the redneck, be what you are. To make video on TH-cam is definitely not your profession
Too loud. Too interested in himself. Too little time showing details of what needs to be done.
how could he not be interested in himself with that incredible mullet
Awww shit 1st comment
blah blah blah
Redneck repairman hilarious
