Default Safely discharging a capacitor

Going to attempt to change the capacitor on my tumble dryer... Its a 8
micro-Farad one.

I think its dead anyway but I'm assuming I can check with a
multimeter? What sort of voltage/current is one of these likely to
have?

Assuming it is still ' live' how do I discharge it to make it safe?


Does your meter support capacitance? if not you're wasting you're time,
these are only a few pence anyway in a maplins outlet.
