    Is my setup 'earthed'? I live in Canada and have a UK machine.

    Because nobody gave any links or posted photos of what I'm supposed to order, I have no idea what you're talking about; what you are writing about sounds like Greek to me, so I went to a store that specializes in foreign electronics, and the attendant told me that my setup wasn't grounded. He...

    Can I pour 99% isopropyl alcohol onto my light socket contacts? Safe?

    The thing with microwaves is that their capacitors can hold their charge for years after the microwave is unplugged from the wall outlet. I also read that a microwave capacitor can hold a charge as great as 3000 volts. I don't know how much of this voltage it would've lost since the microwave...

    Is it worth it for 35 watt machines to have an anti-static mat?

    http://bostonelectrolysis.com/article_a.htm (this webpage talks about electrostatic discharge) http://bostonelectrolysis.com/article_42.htm (scroll down to near the bottom, where there are photos of the floor and the top of the trolly/worksurface). One of my machines is 35 watts. Frequency...

    Can I pour 99% isopropyl alcohol onto my light socket contacts? Safe?

    https://anannymouse.imgur.com/all/ Here are the photos of my two lightbulb sockets hanging down from my over-the-range microwave (they're supposed to provide light for when you're cooking on the stovetop), so you can see that I could just put a big bowl underneath to catch any drips, whether...

    Is my setup 'earthed'? I live in Canada and have a UK machine.

    I live in Canada. I have a "made in Britain" machine that I bought from the UK, that I want to use here in Canada. To do so, I bought a step-up/step-down voltage converter, though I don't know if it contains an internal regulator. Some voltage transformers contain an internal regulator, though...

    Frigidaire CFMV164LSA over-the-range microwave capacitor location

    I went in and changed it to "Public". Try the same link again. If that doesn't work, here is another link that might work: http://imgur.com/a/XDyAiSK (automatically puts an "s" after the http, even though I'm logged out. I would have though it would do the opposite). I forgot to mention, I...

    Frigidaire CFMV164LSA over-the-range microwave capacitor location

    My microwave has been unplugged for over 5 days now. Is it safe to touch the capacitor now? Should I pour 99% ispropyl alcohol over the lightbulb connectors (or whatever those flat metal things are called). You can see 16 photos of my microwave here: https://anannymouse.imgur.com/all/

    Frigidaire CFMV164LSA over-the-range microwave capacitor location

    I tried to upload some photos, but each time I got a pop-up that only said "There was a problem uploading your file". I noticed in other brands of microwaves, the capacitor is located behind the time display. Is it the same for my model, which I described in the title of this post? Can I use my...
