Default It lives! Was: Is A/C capacitor supposed to look like this?

Replaced both the fan cap and compressor cap and it's runnin' like a
champ now. The guy at the parts place put a meter on them and said the
fan cap was on its way out and the compressor cap was kaput. The shape
on the compressor cap is different - this one is oval, the old one was
cylindrical about like an old car coil. However the ratings are the
same and it appears to work.



I would have gotten ones rated for 440 volts instead of 370 myself because
it leaves more headroom for power spikes and surges.
