Take mine to Grainger , they test it and sell me a new one. Had two on outside unit. One was bad, but I went ahead and replaced both. Less than $25.
They are sized by microfarad. 35 for smaller units. 50 for Larger units like mine. There will be a max voltage rating but they are pretty standard. Anyone that sells them will know what you want. The first time I bought one. I got the specific part number so I know it would fit in the metal loop. This time I bought a cheap one $12. The metal was too big and I put a few kinks in it to tighten it up.
The prices for the same rated cap can go from $12 to $100. I bought a $50 brand name one last time and it only lasted 3 years.

I CHEATED, mine went out this weekend, replaced on Memorial Day by my son who works with this stuff daily and diagnosed the problem right away. Only problem was finding a replacement on a holiday. Hill's Ace Hardware in Winder had them and $19.25 later I was good to go.

You can rig up a wire on them and throw them to people that you don't want to be friends with anymore
I always use my pecker.
Actually, I can't back that up. Not long enough to reach both contacts.
