    Unless it has to do with electrical wiring or anything dangerous. Part of learning to repair is knowing your limits!

      Some things are very dangerous even though for inexperienced they might not seem so. Case in point: the microwave. It has a powerful capacitor and if you try taking it apart, it might shock you even when disconnected from power

        Adding to that, capacitors can take a very long time to discharge. They can still do serious damage after not being connected for months

        Never fuck with a microwave, you’re asking to become the path of least resistance for that capacitor to unload through.
