    OP
    Quoted from spclwhenlit:

    Please see the pic below: what is the spec for this component, can I get it from the usual suppliers, and is there anything special I need to do or check before I replace it? I’ve looked at a few other SS machines, and none have it. Is it an indication of some internal issue, or could it result from a freak input line voltage?
    Thanks in advance!

    MOV's normally die as a result of a line voltage spike.
    Tough to tell what that was from the picture. It almost looks like something 'blue' in there that has been coated with RTV. What machine was this and what does the manual show?

    Looks like rather than repinning the connector for US settings, they cut and spliced wires. You can tell where the two wires were to begin with in the connector. Like others have said - need the connections on the other side to clarify things.
