Would an electrolytic capacitor be correct? How does that work with
polarity (seeings its getting AC)?

Definatly not!

see my last post, a 400V DC capacitor is approximatly equivilent to a 250V
AC capacitor

He would be better off with an AC rated capacitor designed not to
short out, The "X" or "Y" rated AC capacitors would be a good choice.
If the capacitor does short the motor will burn up, and could start a
fire.
