First pull the quick disconnect (power source). If you have a multimeter with capacitor check (uf) capabilities, look at the side of the capacitor and see what the uf rating is, (should be somthing like 3.5uf or 5.0uf or7.5uf) then stick a screwdriver between both contacts where the wires are pluged into the top of the capacitor and touch both contacts at the same time to discharge any stored electric power, then remove all the wires from the top of the capactor, switch on the multimeter and set it to the uf setting, now place one lead on one side and one on the other, if your capacitor is say a 7.5uf and the reading is 9.0uf or 6.0uf it's bad replace the capacitor. check both of your capacitors the same way, oh mark your capacitor and the wires so you can put them back together rite. If you don't have a multimeter with capasatence checking capability take them to an appliance shop and let them do it for you.
