Replaced the capacitor and all has been running cool again for about a week. Replaced my neighbor's too. Theirs stopped working again after 48 hrs. One more replacement on theirs and we're at 72 hrs of runtime since replacement.

A lot of broken appliances are due to bad capacitors. Sometimes they are easy to spot because they bulge. I was given a large broken television, found a bulged one and had it replaced. Worked for the past 8 years
