Probably, but I'm not at the OP's house to take a look and be certain this

How many tumble driers use brushed motors?

How many brushed motors also have a capacitor?

Now this assumes that it _is_ a capacitor of course. If it does have a
brushed motor, I wouldn't be surprised if it had a line filter instead
and these can look very similar to capacitors.

Nope. Definitely an 8 micro-Farad capacitor.
