Please see the attached pictures of a capacitor on the mains line filter of a microwave/oven combination appliance. The filter board is powered by 240V AC, and I've gone though 2 boards where that capacitor has blown. My questions are:
1. Is it a problem that the capacitor only indicates 175V or would the voltage be lower at that point in the circuit?
2. If it is a possible problem, could I replace it with a higher voltage?
3. What type of capacitor is it? I was thinking it was ceramic, but if the "595" means 5.9 µF then I guess it is some other dielectric.
Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions.
