Can anybody please advise re the small white tubular object that sits on the left hand side at the back of the dryer after removing the panal. It looks like a small motor unit and has a reference KPB7336 and X1Y2 marked on it. I am not sure what this item is. Its earthed and has 2 black wires leading into the power supply. This object seems to have blown as its blackened on top. Can I buy this easily and fit myself ?
Thanks for any advice

The thing that has blown is a noise suppression capacitor. The black leads sit across the mains and a central lead goes to motor chassis. It will have two capacitor values. one for X1 and one (x2) for Y2

I have just had one blow on a coffee grinder .

Trying to buy one is difficult
