I had a bit of a brain fart when I was checking the caps. I was just using an ohm meter to check for a direct short which would indicate bad, but some how mixed that up in my mind and when I saw one open and one shorted across the terminals I just decided in my own little world the “open” was the bad one. Not sure what I got turned around, but maybe too many beers while trouble shooting. Anyway in the morning and after the last post straightened me out I realized I do indeed have a capacitance checker on my meter. So now the 10 mfd that read shorter last night shows open and has a capacitance of 10.1 and the 7.5 tha read open last night is still open and reads nothing on the capacitance test. So……. I am replacing them both! Still confused about the orientation of the caps, however. Because I have a 10 and a 7 it seem like the unit has GE motors, but per the service manual they are installed backwards?!?! Ideas?
