When replacing any condensers, always use new ones of AT LEAST the same voltage rating or higher. Higher is better. Use condensers of the same capacitance or as close as you can get. In power filtering circuits it is OK to go up to 1 1/2 times the original capacitance. Oh, by the way, I still call condensers by the old name, since I have been working with electronics since that was still the accepted term, although "capacitor", what most folks call them now, was beginning to be used. Yes, I am that old.
