| + | [* black] Take the two numbers you gathered and compare them with the ones on the label. If the numbers that you collected are roughly the same (within 0.4) then it is a good capacitor. But, for example, if you have a 5-microfarad capacitor and you read that it is 4.5 then it would be time to replace it even if it isn’t causing any issues yet. |
