Apparently,the capacitor values are dc voltage?The same for the electrolitics?
Sorry to bug you with such simple questions.
Just want to make sure I know what to buy when replacing that cap.
Have a great evening.

Probably 99% of the time the voltage rating on a capacitor is DC voltage. You do find motor start or run capacitors that are rated for AC voltage but I think they usually also have a DC voltage rating.

Thank you sir,
I wonder if the 2, 25's are why it does not run.Should be 60.
Have a great day Sean and thanks
