To eliminate this potential problem there should be a bleed resistor across the terminals of the start capacitor.
This video is part of the heating and cooling series of training videos made to accompany my websites.
Not all start caps use resistors as there are other ways to accomplish the task of reducing residual voltage in a capacitor.
Suitable resistors can be obtained from any electronic parts wholesaler or retailer.
The important part is if your original capacitor had one you ll need to replace it on the new capacitor.
