I sometimes work on tube amplifiers and those capacitors are perhaps a very different animal, but you do have to be VERY careful around tube amps because those capacitors can store lethal voltages. One of my amps has a circuit using several capacitors and operating at just under 600 Volts. I'd be comfortable swapping out a heat pump capacitor, but I would use a procedure that assumes the worst. I would NOT go anywhere near the guts of a microwave oven. FWIW.
