Wrong design, The caps couldn't handle the current ripple. The ripple should reduced with more inductive line.
It need to use better or bigger caps or more inductive in the line. If these caps used as supply, it can be replaced with larger farads, but if as output filter, replace with SH caps (motor starting) or MKP caps.

caps do that when they see high ripple current, replace with higher voltage. Check the diodes make sure they are good. if the caps are in the pre ac section , on the dc side of the switching supply, add a big cap on the 12 supply.
it is hard to tell where they are from the pic.
