I have a WG4600 and I have a new CAP for C621 (1600V .1uf) on the main board.

My quesion is, does it have a POS and NEG side? It does not appear to on either the old or new cap, and both leads are the same length on the new cap.

I just wanted to ask, so I don't blow anything up.

I included pics of the old cap and new.

Thanks,

I don't think that kind of cap has any polarity. if the chassis has markings for polarity and that one doesn't, it's probably a NP (non-polar) :)
 
OK thanks. Seems that way to me too, but just wanted to ask first.
