Thanks for that Lawrence.

one capacitor is marked 804, the other 803. They are in parallel so presume total capacitance is 880nF.

But you can't get motor run capacitors in that low value. The smallest appears to be 1uF.

I dont know if I could use this type of capacitor or do I have to use a motor run capacitor and if so, would a 1uF be ok?
