How long does it take for a microwave capacitor to discharge?
The time to discharge to a safe voltage will be on the order of several 10s of seconds if the internal Resistor is 10 megohms and the Capacitor is less than 1 microfarad. The cap should be dead if you allow your microwave to sit overnight.
