Ceramic cap blown to pieces

[mainoak@gmail.com]

Greetings. This is my first post so i hope im posting in the correct place. I have a TV Telefunken model no: TLED-26FHDP. Tv smoked so i opened it up and found a spot on the power board right next to the 220v in that was black and two legs left behind. After searching the interwebs i found a pic of the same board.
After looking at the pic i saw that it was a ceramic cap that blew to pieces.
The ceramic cap in question is the black mf72 bottom left. In the pic its MF72 and under 509. I found a slightly bigger one that is MF72 and under 4.7D13. Will this one i found work? And then also why would the ceramic cap have exploded? The fuse checks out good and few other items i tested out all seem good. Would it have damaged anything else?
Thanks in advance for any help....

Not a Cap. that's a NTC thermistor, a startup current limiter. They don't often fail without reason. Possibly something is pulling too much power or is shorted. When you bring that TV back up use a dim-bulb tester.

You have a MF72-5D9 which is 3 amps. The one you found is smaller, may work depending on the power rating of the TV.

EDIT: After going through the ratings of the TV, 65w/110v=0.6a. But, the one you found has higher resistance, so it may not work.

Re: Ceramic cap blown to pieces

Thank you for your reply. I am fairly new electronics... So the MF72-47D13 is the one i found and i see by the link you provided that is higher resistance. I will go and purchase the correct one. I have been spending hours on the web watching clips to see how to test out components, and have learned a great deal so far. I am going to test out all the components that i know how to test and see if anything stands out. Thank you once again for your reply and contributions it is really awesome having a guiding hand while learning.. Will also look into the dim-bulb tester and how to use and update once i get there..
