LG dehumidifier working great then suddenly died. Power source is ok but pressing power does nothing. no sound no display, simply no response from the unit. Could bad capacitor be the culprit?

The bigger problem is that the capacitor in question has been discontinued and no longer available. Label printed on the capacitor: CBB65A-1 35uF +/-5% 50-60Hz 270VAC 3.0/3.6A 25/80/21 C.PI SH CQC02002001190 Protected 10\1000 AFC Plant Oil EN60252). I'm a DIY and have no experience on this stuff but I can follow wiring diagrams. I just wanted to see if it’s just the capacitor and I'm willing to buy a compatible capacitor that (one close to the specs shown) and see if I can resurrect the unit. Beyond this initial attempt, it will be too much for me to figure out and will probably just ditch the unit. Any assistance will be much appreciated. Thank you all.

Haven't done much on the capacitor other than disconnect from the wirings. It looks ok (no dents, no bulges, except for faint sign of what could be a leak near the foot of one of the prong terminal.

Hi. Thank you so much for the follow-up troubleshooting guidance. I may have found the potential problem. The 13-pin cable connecting the main pcb to the display pcb appears broken (see pic). I tried to do a quick search and this cable may not be sold separately from the main board rather as a board-cable bundle. i will keep on looking. If you know of a possible cable source please let me know. Again thank you for all the assistance. [image|2709017]
