Where is the fan capacitor on central ac unit?

Either mounted to the fan or in the electrical compartment on the outdoor unit.


Do you replace a bad capacitor for a central ac with the same size?

Typically a bad capacitor is a sign of a weakening Compressor in the unit. Rule of thumb: If the unit is 20+ years old, you would be putting a band aid on it by replacing the capacitor. If you decide to try and get by with an older system for a few more seasons, I recommend to put a new capacitor on the unit with a hard start system installed on the compressor. You can normally have this done for under $300.00. And back to your question; capacitors are sized depending on the size of the unit. Check your tonage of the unit and bring the capacitor with the correct tonage to a Parts house and they will make sure it is properly sized. Hope this helps.
