Found this on the web. Not the exact models but any way you look at it, the accuracy on these things are pretty good enough for general use.

Yepp.

I recently purchased a used 0.5HP A/C and I noticed that both the compressor and fan were humming loudly in operation. Took this cap off.... It's a 15uF (Herm) and 3uF (Fan). The spec sheet called for a 20uF + 1.5uF. Replaced the cap and the A/C is now quiet.

Will just buy another one ... for now, have no skill to fix appliances ... just mostly test for continuity ... once or twice a year ...

Wow, you guys are really good ... right now aircon compressor is vibrating loudly .. and the technician could not even fix it ... it's a 15 year old backup air conditioner ...
