You're welcome.
My best guess is 3.3k would be 3.3 uF...
Thank you.
Do you know why the regulator keeps failing? If you keep having to replace components, it suggests something is wrong somewhere?
Thank you.
That is a good question. I'm guessing poor quality capacitors/components in the regulator itself. Also, these are being operated in India, where power fluctuations, spikes, and failures are way too common. It is possible that the 250VAC upper limit on these caps is being shot, leading to their failure.

Can I trouble you guys with another capacitor identification request? This one is from a refrigerator
thermostat timer that powers a quartz to keep time (8hrs08min). However, it works with a mind of its own - it will occasionally keep the timer ticking, and frequently just sits there quietly.
This seems to be a metallized polypropelene axial capacitor, but the 0.085K is once again throwing my searches off (both on eBay and on Mouser.com).
What is this cap's capacity?
