A breaker tripped yesterday which goes to the AC unit. I reset it and
it was working last night and this morning. This afternoon when I got
home from work, it was tripped again. I reset it and it tripped back
again.. I tried two more times and the AC unit finally cut on. I
looked out the back door and smoke was coming from the unit!!!.. I
flipped the breaker off.. and when I took the panel off the unit.. the
capacitor was smoking and of the three connections.. one was black and
melted..

Its simple to replace it.. if I find another.. Is this a situation
where I should replace it.. or does it sound like another problem?

I appreciate any suggestions

All the words on the unit are faded except the word Goodman.

Here is the info off the capacitor:
Dielektrol Capacitor

9457-5400
CAPACITOR, 35 MFD, 440VAC, CAN, FILM COMPOSITION, =B16% TOLERANCE

I looked on the internet for another one but I only came up with one
site that carried it.. and they had a 25 qty order limit??
