Downed power line & stove no longer works. Pulled circuit board & found the fuse popped & this circular piece with a hole in it.
I was planning to attempt repair myself before shelling out $500.
Anyone know what this part is called?
Breckwell P4000 Cast
Thank you,

Just now figured it out that it is a MOV, metal oxide varistor. Ordered 5 pieces (v130la1p) & I'll report back once I make the repair.
 
Hope it works for you, I had a capacitor on the control board of my US Stove 6041 swell up and it wouldnt power on. Soldered on a new capacitor and it worked. Makes me wonder how many other boards have something simple like that go bad.
 
make sure u put it on the right way.. if memory serves me right they are marked positive/negative
 
Only ones that are polarity sensitive are electrolytic, tantalum, most foil (drops/dipped). Safety/mov’s don’t matter
