The appliance will work fine without them, but I do recommend replacing them.
True, it works but I want to replace them as well... Because if it blew, there might be some bigger issue like someone said so I want to be sure (blow another in that case).
There was some work on power cord before, and I think that might be the case... But power cord looks OK now so I cant be sure, and I don't want to turn fridge on without that cap.
you could remove them and check them with a lcr meter or capacitor tester sometimes they are 0.1 uf at 1 kilovolts or even 2.5 kv for this size ...
I can't test them because one is completely burned out and other I don't think can be measured correctly because of proximity to the one that burned out (or am I wrong?) and might have changed the initial characteristics.
What I am interested in, is if i want to buy new caps, what should I look for? I mean what's the logic behind deciding what kind of cap goes as X or Y cap in designing?
- does capacitance has to be the same OR the bigger the better?
- rated voltages have to be same or also ?
I'm asking this, because like I said in first post, I know that these blown caps are 440V X1 and 250 Y2 rated... and that's it. Capacitance can't be determined with certainty, at least with my limited knowledge.
Thanks guys for time and patience
