There are other testing methods other than resistance that can be used.

Uni t ut33c pocket digital multime.
The forward biased resistance of a good diode.
Multimeters can function as a voltmeter and capacitors are rated with a maximum voltage that can be applied to them so this test would be centered on measuring the voltage rating of the capacitor.
Since capacitors store voltage the multimeter is also capable of reading volts so if the multimeter being used has a capacitance meter.
To test a capacitor with a multimeter discharge the capacitor set the multimeter to test for resistance then interpret the reading.
Check test a capacitor using analog multimeter test check a capacitor with a digital multimeter checking capacitor by multimeter in the capacitance mode check and test a capacitor by simple voltmeter traditional method to test check a capacitor find the capacitor value by measuring the value of time constant.
6 ways to check a capacitor by using dmm amm avo.
If you suspect the capacitor is dead conducting an ohm meter test is the easiest way to find.
A multimeter set to the resistance mode ω can be used as an additional diode test or as mentioned previously if a multimeter does not include the diode test mode.
A diode is forward biased when the positive red test lead is on the anode and the negative black test lead is on the cathode.
Some multimeters offer a relative rel mode.
Most multimeters don t have this function though but you can still test a capacitor using the voltmeter or ohm meter setting.
Discharge the capacitor as described in the warning above.
Some multimeters measure capacitance directly by supplying a voltage across a capacitor and measuring the discharge current.
The video demonstrates several ways to check a capacitor using a digital and analog multimeters and an lcr meter.
