Is this can over a sink? Humidity is a guess.

------------------------
The culprit light sits on top of the frig. The other (exactly equal)
lights are closer to microwaveoven, kitchen range, and sink with no
problem. The units are rated for 60 W and I use only 30 W. The
minimum required 5" space (no insulation) around each can is
observed. I looked at the wiring inside the junction box (which is
part of the housing) and made sure all three connections were "good
and solid." I noticed that there is a capacitor (I believe) that is
part of the circiut, but had no way to check it. Could it be
defective? What does the capacitor do anyway? Thanks.


It is not a capacitor. It is a thermal cut-out to prevent the light from
overheating.
