Hi, new to the forum and hope I am posting this in the right place.
I have a bread maker from Japan that a friend managed to plug on 220V....
After opening the device and checking the board I noticed that a metal oxide varistor had exploded and hopefully it might be the only component damaged, in which case I might be able to save the bread maker.
The only problem is that I cannot determine the component specs:(
It should look like this

Most component stores require diameter, max voltage, max current etc but I am not really sure what to order. The device operates at 100~110V (with a transformer) and at 1200Watts. Any help most welcome:)
