i do mains voltage for a living.
on your meter you could have a capacitance setting, check the manual for how to select it.
the capacitor SHOULD discharge thru the motor windings but i always Zap 'em before i touch 'em, oh and be sure to unplug the damn thing from the wall socket
the capacitor my have "popped" which will be obvious as its come to bits. you wont have to test it then
disconnect the cap (usually spade lugs) and using the meter on capacitance test against the value on the capacitor, if its pretty close then you've got other problems but you ll probably find its way out.
but as it's now not making any noise I'm not sure if you ha vent burned a winding or a connection so while its in bits give all terminations a once over. be sure to get a motor starting capacitor as one from a fluorescent light or ballast wont be up to snuff
i got a bench grinder and pillar drill, both with blown caps and repaired them with aud20 capacitors, that's a pretty common fault with 240v equipment and company's here throw the gear away thinking the cost of a sparky to be more then the repair is worth
good luck

Zakboy, without wishing to impugn your ability, or enthusiasm, but for safety sake, maybe you should now consult a trained Electrical man to check this motor over, just in case you get it wrong. 240v AC ain't really for amateurs, however enthusiastic, really, Morrag
