    new ones won’t hurt .22uf  but it may not be the cause of the problem.

    just take them off and measure ohms    analog needle meter are best for this and you should see a kick with resistance  gradually increasing to infinity as the condensers charges itself from the probe voltage…   a 0 ohms  is a dead shorted  condenser   a no kick condenser is open.
