Until you can fix it, open the windows, curtains and blinds at night and shut them during the day.

Those aren't supposed to be round on top.
This was me on Sunday... And then also on Monday after replacing the cap and then realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)
realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)
Yep, that is often the case. I'm a hvac/refrigeration tech and I'd say about 20% of the time I have to replace start components, it's because the motor in question is starting to fail.
When you go upstairs do you constantly hear “Give Me Just One Night” or something in the background?
I do but unfortunately the announcer just keeps talking right up to the post.

mine went out in July in Phoenix, AZ. The 3rd closest Ace had 1 in stock for my unit.
Well there's your problem right there!
It was! Came right back!
Is that a Dell. Lol.
Rofl, might as well be. Was just hope after I replace it It doesn't swell again just like dell.
My 20 year old AC breaks once a year, at this point it's the ship of theseus. One year it's the capacitor on condensor, then condensor fan motor, then fan motor that circulates air instead, then circuit board that controls all HVAC functions, then capacitor for circulation fan. Every year, when the heat hits strong, something breaks, I have become proficient in diagnosting HVAC system at this point.
If you're going through multiple condensers a decade you need a new air conditioner. From a different manufacturer operating on a different continent.

I feel so dumb sitting here thinking you were talking about the connections. Like yeah they're supposed to be round for ease of insertion. But also could tell something was off cause they usually point in parallel directions. Then I noticed the black dome they are attached to.
Please bring this to a proper site for disposal, that thing is like a flaming poison bomb at this point.
It probably just swelled when it got hot now that it's cooled down it's probably in a little bit of a vacuum state.
