Short answer: replace the capacitors.I agree. The capacitors are cheap
to replace. In general the run

capacitor value is much less than the start capacitor value.

So, a bad capacitor could cause a hi current condition?


Not exactly ... see my short answer. Circuit breakers have two trip times.
A stalled motor can evoke the longer trip time because a capacitor failure
does not get the motor turning.
