Is it that EC5 capacitor?? If so, if you can find the numbers on it, you can order one and replace it for almost nothing. The soldering iron was like $15, and the capacitors were like $2
I had a Samsung TV that I did that with, and it worked for another 5-6 years.
Nothing really to lose trying it.
ZR1 blew out..
Most likely shorted out in the process of blowing out which have a chain effect of burning up the circuit board foil pattern under it until the fuse blew out.
ZR1 is a "MOV" which is for surge protection.
Fair chance the unit took a voltage spike, MOV gave it's life but the process could have damaged other items while doing so.
Another possible culprit for taking out ZR1 is a generator that has poor voltage regulation, or is producing power with voltage spikes in it.
True..
But, thinking outside the box I looked up the specs on some I have laying around for 120V applications..
271KD14, is rated max allowable of 175V

HEREIf I were to guess, if OP has a 50A 120/240 shore connection they may have temporarily lost neutral for a second.. That can happen while plugging in or unplugging or if they have ATS between shore power and gen.
In either case I would have thought that there would have been other collateral damage like converter, microwave and other 120V devices..
We could guess all day and never find the answer as to why it blew out.
