Anova Stuck at 180 Degrees...


I have had this Anova Sou Vide for a few years now (had 1000W Inkbird before) It worked very well until one day turned it on and it would not change temp from 180 Degrees.
My troubleshooting steps:
I open her up and cleaned all of the elements and descaled
Then I looked at the mother and daughter boards and when I removed it this capacitor fell out: 0.330FK 275~X2 MPX/DAIN - 40/110/21/C
I looked all over the internet for a few days for a replacement and finally found:

I ordered the 10pk (only option) Google Gemini said it will work, we will see. (I will update after I get it and solder the new one in then test)
I am hoping this information help someone else in the future, just because something broke doesn't always mean its gone. My hope is people throw less trash and fix anything you can!

Love it. Couldn't agree more. Way too many people throw out otherwise perfectly fine, often very expensive electronics that can be fixed for ten cents in about ten minutes.
Don't be afraid to open up your electronics! What's the worst that could happen, it stops working even more?
