Frigidaire Freezer MFU14M2GW1 1999 model.

This freezer was left by the previous owner and has worked perfectly;
until today. After some reading I think I can fix it for less than
fifty dollars.

I found the controller/starter (?) was burnt badly after removing it.
Looks exactly like this one.

The capacitor looks like this one.

Would the burnt controller damage the capacitor? I found some info
stating the capacitor needs to be discharged to test it for
continuity. Any "easy" ways to discharge it?

Thanks.

With respect, Oren, if you don't know how to discharge a capacitor, you
don't know how to test one, either.
