Power washer capacitor question

    Hi I have a Aldi workzone power washer that is not working. Opened the front cover a tested power to switch which I have 230v turned switch on and am receiving 230v after switch. Power washer is not making any noise whatsoever. Motor is not running. There is a capacitor located after the witch on L&N wires. I’m thinking that the capacitor might need replacing. I do not have a like for like capacitor but I do have a a higher rated one off a oil boiler/burner motor.

    Anyway is it safe to connect this capacitor just to test and see does the power washer work. See attached pic of existing power washer capacitor .

    Thanks

    Has to be same uf rating. It's the capacitor that kick starts the motor. The top one won't do it.
