    ALWAYS discharge the high-voltage capacitor first if you even think your hands will come close to any HIGH VOLTAGE components.

    Jeff mentions this: Anything in the high voltage ( magnetron, capacitor, diode, wires to and from ):
    ...Use a metal ( not the shiny chrome type ) screw driver with a insulated handle to short across ( touch both at the same time ) the terminals of the high voltage capacitor to discharge it.

Friends, I'm back again with another issue. I have a GE Cafe microwave - bought 3 years ago. The exhaust is wired to recirculate, but the vent has stopped working recently. I figured the charcoal fiter may be an issue and replaced it. However, the reset filter button doesn't work now. The unit works otherwise - cooks etc. but we cook regularly and it would be nice to have the vent work. I do throw the oil filter(?)/grate in the dishwasher once every couple of weeks...

Thanks much for any assistance!
