The good capacitor is not labeled like a normal cap, so I don't know what value it is. It says K 505J 250. (I am guessing its 250 volt,
but I am clueless about the uf value).
I did figure out one thing on my own (using Google).
505J is a Japanese way of marking a cap. In this case, it's 5uf.
So it's a 5uf at 250V cap. I can only guess the "J" means Japan.
J=+/-5% tolerance.

Why they can't label their caps like normal people, is frustrating, but
that's how they do it. Just more complication for no advantage.
That is a standard marking. You need to study the basics, instead of
constantly complaining.
