I've had a few failures of these recently. Used round a bridge rectifier -
for RFI purposes, I'd guess. They were the normal sort of wax covered
types. In all three cases, one had shorted.

Is there anything better to use for this?

Replace with known good quality parts. Total length of leads including
capacitor disc diameter should be kept as small as possible--1cm is
very desireable. They work even better with about 22ohms 1/4 or 1/10W
in series if there is room.
