You might as well replace both fan & compressor motor capacitors since you've already opened it up..

Btw did you test the capacitance for those caps?

The fan motor cap should be 2 uF & the compressor motor cap 30uF both rated 450V or higher..

Most multimeter has a capacitance measurement except for the really el-cheapo ones..

The pins should be OL(open loop), and on a resistance setting should gradually move to infinity (maybe)..

Or just buy a cheap Fluke or Uni-T multimeter.. better digital should last you a lifetime..

Note* AC voltage is sinisoidal 334V pp maybe fluctuations higher a bit so the very least make sure the caps you get higher rated..

No.. it won't.. this is mains voltage..

230V AC voltage is the rms value(average if u like)..

AC voltage is not a constant like a battery DC voltage, it is a sinosoidal waveform at 50 times/sec (Hz).. with peak to peak values of about 340Volts..

Replacing a 250V rated capacitor to a 230V ac mains supply will soon heat up and damaged .. you must use a 450V rated capacitor and a proper metalised type if for the start/stop compressor motor.. (heat dissipation)

The fan motor u can use the correct rated polypropylene cap 450V or higher (never less)
