power supply upgrade question

The Voltage and Wattage (WVDC) rating is one thing...
Physical Profile - lead dress and size - are another too...
Temperature is another.
Some caps work just fine is linear power supplies for quite a while - it's when you run into Enclosures and latent heat spreaders too close to the cap - they may not like it - like excessive gassing caused by heat and power "exercise" the caps can get under heavy load and surges can push then envelope.
And the Heat rating being 85C or 105C can make a difference in surviving in a harsh environment. When I say harsh, doesn't mean high heat, but humid and damp as well as electrical surges load switching and inadequate ventilation
Always replace the caps NOT ONLY with same Values, Profile and working WVDC but with SAME Temperature ratings or HIGHER if you can afford it.
Personal experience here...
