How can I check a capacitor on an AC unit?

To check a capacitor on an AC unit, you can use a multimeter set to the capacitance setting. First, make sure the power to the unit is turned off. Then, discharge the capacitor by using an insulated screwdriver to bridge the terminals. Next, remove the capacitor and use the multimeter to measure the capacitance. If the reading is significantly lower than the labeled capacitance, the capacitor may be faulty and in need of replacement.
