This week both parts failed again after working for over 3 months. I have purchased new parts again but am wondering if additional parts must be replaced. Also the capacitor that is blowing only appears to be rated at 175V (see picture) but the board it is on is getting 240V, and other capacitors are rated at 275V. Is that an issue? Also, what type of capacitor is it, and does the 595 mean 5.9 uF, in which case it is not a ceramic capacitor? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. (Pictures below are new capacitor, new filter board, blown capacitor on old filter). bdpead attached the following image(s):
