How to check a capacitor in a HVAC condenser unit using a multimeter to see if it is weak or bad and needs to be replaced. Even though an air conditioner unit will likely still run with a dual capacitor that is out of range, but the longer it operates like that, the more it's lifespan will decrease. Of course how far out of range will make a big difference as well. A 40 MFD capacitor that is reading 30 MFD, will likely still work but the AC compressor will have a harder time starting up. Whereas a 40 MFD capacitor that is reading 20 MFD, may not start at all.
