Capacitors are meant to hold electrons on one plate (and repel electrons from the other) while NOT passing a current between the plates. If current is allowed to pass between the plates than the capacitor has failed. A capacitor is made up of two isolated plates held apart by a non-conductive material (usually oils). If the oil has been broken down or exposed to a significantly large voltage, electrons will begin to jump the gap between the two plates. At this point the capacitor has failed.
If the capacitor is not electrolytic, the polarity doesn't matter. Read the multimeter. If the multimeter reads in the range of 10,000 ohms and increases to near infinity, the capacitor is normal. If the reading is very low or nothing, the capacitor has a short and is defective. If the reading is immediately infinite, the capacitor is both open and defective. Learn more about Electricity
