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.
A digital or analog multimeter is used to test capacitors. There are two types of capacitors used in window AC units â run capacitors and start capacitors. Some manufacturers combine both the run and start capacitors in one unit.. Locate the run and start capacitors. Run capacitors are oil-filled capacitors while start capacitors are electrolytic capacitor; run capacitors are round or oval shaped, silver-colored metal cans, while start capacitors are round, tubular-shaped, black-colored units.
