Warning: I keep seeing techs skip the capacitor discharge on those new variable speed dryer motors

Fried a $300 motor last week because the manual specifically says to wait 5 minutes after unplugging, and I didn't. Anyone else run into this yet?

Hard way is right. Thing is, @logan648, most people miss the part where it keeps happening even after you learn. You patch one leak and another one springs. It's not a one time lesson. It's a whole process of constantly watching for new cracks. Gets exhausting, but that's the real takeaway.
