Since I didn't have a replacement, I just removed it and jumped the connection. All was fine after that.

My 10 had that black varistor starting to bust up with about 1/3 of the disk missing and it was affecting the set, not getting enough juice. Then it finished popping apart and really killed the juice so I just soldered the leads together. So check the ohmage across it with the set unplugged and it should be like in the 100 ohm range.
