I have a jigsaw which has stopped working. 240v Elu ST152E TYPE3 (circa 1990s)
There's power at the switch ok but a smell of burnt electrics or a spent cap gun round, coming from this capacitor. I think it's a suppressor for the motor.

I reckon I could solder in a new one, but I don't understand how to read the spec on it, based on "how to read a film capacitor" guides I've looked at.
Guessing 22K could mean 22pF or nF uF or maybe none of those.
Any ideas? thanks

X2 is a safety class rating.
MKT specifies its a metalized polyester film capacitor
The manufacturer is AV Arcotronics
250V AC max
40/100/21SH is the climatic category (first number is the lowest operating temp in C, second is the highest, third is the number of days the cap can withstand the limits if exposed to a relative humidity of 95% and a temp of 40C.

.22k275 translates to 0.22uF @ 275k volts
