Take off the access panel on the outside unit. Almost always this will be in the corner access plate. The cap is marked. It will have three connections. It will be a dual run cap, a lower number, five probably, and a higher , 35, 45 or similar. Expressed like: 5/35, 5/45. The unit of measurement is micro farads, or MFD.

When you buy a replacement pass by all Chinese caps and get a USA cap.
