Climate control fix

[mech9T8]

So I chickened out replacing the capacitor and just cleaned out the dust and the problem seemed to be fixed. Well I was wrong, about a day later it crapped out again and I got hot air blasting at me in 30 degree weather (Celcius that is).
So I paid an electrician $15 to replace the capacitor and all is well...so far. I really hope it is fixed this time.
Has anyone had any problems after replacing the capacitor?

Just to let you know - I currently had my climate control unit work intermittently, until it pretty much no longer worked. I found a potential fix on this website and replaced the capacitor. Pretty easy job, even for the novice. Unit has been working ever since. I purchased the same capacitors from Digikey and now have extras for anyone looking to do the work themselves. E-mail me if interested in taking some of these off my hands.
