Hi a Newbie here, The drum has stopped turning on my tumble dryer, I've checked the belt and that's ok, my next stop was the capacitor which starts the motor, I removed it a see a slight leakage on one of the terminals, my electrical knowledge is very basic, I discharged the capacitor and tested it on a multimeter on Ohms, the reading kept rising and never returned to zero, I'm assuming that the capacitor is dead, the main reason I'm posting is, I've ordered a new capacitor and then realised that on the terminals there's no positive or negative signs, like I said it's only 2 terminal but I don't want to get the polarity wrong and end up blowing my machine up, can anybody point me in the right direction.
cheers
