    Location of an ac capacitor


    I am not an expert when it comes to repairing AC units, and have no intentions of trying to repair myself! With that said... I was wondering if it's possible to check to see if my AC capacitor is in fact damaged & needs to be replaced? I realize the location of the capacitor will be different on varying models, but how might I be able to check? Or is it even possible for someone with little to no experience? Thanks for any feedback or direction. Currently I have 2 units... one for upstairs (not currently working), and one for downstairs (currently working great)?
