When my capacitor went out, their was an odor in the trailer like burned wires. Our a/c would run but would not cool. I think it is your compressor, how old is the unit? If necessary to replace the unit, I would replace with the same type so the wiring should match up. If you work on the capacitor, be aware they still have electrical charge in them after disconnected, put a screw driver across the terminals of capacitor to remove the charge.
Very important that you discharge the capacitor before working on it. Some of them have quite a kick and could send you over the edge of the roof.
My grandson is in the appliance repair business, capacitors are his favorite. :S
