A customer brought me his 3W1 and selection receiver stating that making selections via the wallbox were intermittent at best.
On the receiver the original cap had been removed from circuit and replaced with two 10uf 450vdc lytic caps wired in parallel.
Kind of the right idea but wrong implementation. Two of them in series back-to-back polarity would have been a better idea, but electrolytics really aren't suitable here.
I replace them with film caps rated at 630 volts, specifically this:

I have not had a lot of interaction with wallbox installation but my question is regarding the replacement cap(s) Shouldn’t that be a 5.0 uf 370vac type?
Yes.
