Default Capacitor replacement

I’ve got a carrier AC model 68RV14103A which is original to my 2009 2720 and recently the AC won’t run more than a minute before tripping the 20amp breaker in my converter (WFCO) both at home on 20A and on 30 Amps.

I’ve opened up the AC and not sure what I’m dealing with here but does anyone know where I could source the replacement capacitor (I hear it might be an all in one and think it’s buried somewhere under the cables).? Tried taking closeup pics of the capacitor too. AC still runs on fan and worked great before so hoping it’s an easy fix of a capacitor.

Hope these pics help.

I just installed a SPP6E Hard Start Capacitor in my A/C. I had to add about 12" of wire to the SPP6E and install it in the pan under the condenser fan.

Wayne this is very helpful thanks. I’m hoping to find the replacement 3 in 1 capacitor but if not will try for the same fix based on your pics and steps!

Can you clarify- does the SPP6E get added to the failing 3 in 1 or does it just replace it? Given the way you had to install it, seems it’s an add on but not sure. If it’s an Add on to the 3 in 1 , does it just only substitute the failing start capacitor? Or does it completely replace the 3 in 1 capacitor with this single SPP6E? Thanks again
