Yes, out of 7 of these models seen I replaced LED's in 5 of those models in the 90's.
Marked LD501 on the schematic. Zenith part number for a "kit" is 903-1487-01. I don't remember what is in the "kit". But, if I speculate it might be a resistor to lower the current draw of the LED to increase its effective life.
As I remember the symptom of the bad LED was that the cassette housing would start cycling as soon as it was plugged in. I don't remember an error indication.
Good luck with your unit!
