Actually, even a quality capacitor will fail eventually, just not as early as the fake ones. As you have mentioned about the heat, the capacitor will be exposed to it and will fail because of it.
- Laforet 5y agoI have replaced more capacitors in appliances than electronics. The fact that appliances runs on higher voltages and stop/starts frequently exacerbate the heat problem. The 9 years old range hood in my kitchen is already had the start capacitor replaced twice. Whoever designed this unit decided to place the circuitry right in a hot spot, making sure that the capacitor will be gently toasted to death in a couple of years.
