never had one of these, that’s a capacitor, right? also don’t know what capacitance this is, tried searching but came up short

edit: OK, since it’s 1000V I guess this isn’t electronics, askelectrics doesn’t exist yet?

edit 3: the whole mess

    Nothing looks burnt here, just heat marks, which would be totally expected after a few decades if the appliance heats a bit during normal use.

    Capacitor like these rarely fail for no reason and if it was subject to over voltage you’d probably have a lot of other things fried, they’d be some of the last things I’d check.
