I have an electric cement mixer with a melted capacitor. It is CCB60 250V 40uF with operating temp 25/70/21
As a replacement I can find 40uF 250V 40/70/21 that is slightly undersized (70mm long instead of 80) or
40uF 450V 25/70/21 (no size listed)
As a newbie, what is more important - matching the operating temp or voltage? If both are important, what will happen if I use one of these.
Thanks so much, I'm in a little over my head, but I already have the thing disassembled and if it doesn't work, I was going to toss it anyway.
I can attach a picture of the existing capicitors label if that is helpful.

I attached a picture of the capacitor, including the melted area at the bottom. I do not know if it is a start or start/run capacitor, although I suspect it is start/run based on no knowledge - the system is very simple, it has an on/off button, an electric motor and a reducing gear box.
