I also think so as far as being "seized" is concerned.
Then, perhaps, some effort needs to be invested in finding a good professional.
I mean, yeah, go ahead and replace the caps and see if it helps, if you insist. But if it does not help, perhaps hiring someone would make sense if you find someone somewhat honest.
does it seize at particular time of day? (like midday) and restart in the evening?
Maybe one of your caps is bad and if th pressure in the system exceeds something, the compressor cannot start. And then in the evening, when the refrigerant cools and pressure drops, that one cap can get the compressor going?
I mean, there has to be something to explain this intermittency.
