Default Window AC Compressor won't shut off

It's my experience with motor run caps, they don't hold a charge after
the unit is turned off. If you're concerned, short the leads to each
other, not to ground.

Question;
There is a large capacitor in the 220 V unit, after I unplug the unit,
can I just short the capacitor leads to the case one at at time, or do
I need to use some type of shunt, like a light bulb.
Thanks, Tony
