identifying disk type capacitor

[tntfarms]

I am trying to repair the air pump module for a select comfort bed. I believe it was damaged when i used a generator for backup power and had a loose wire in the plug and caused some surging.

I found a disk cap that is ruptured and left smoke stains on the board. It is a radial lead through hole type. However, i cannot make sense of the markings on the cap. They are as follows:

150V
594-BC
0115

There does not appear to be a manufacturer logo or marking. I am guessing the 150V is a voltage rating but cannot find anything that would be of the same type with that voltage rating.

Any help is appreciated.

as far as I can tell its 150V varistor

GreenGiant, thanks a lot!!! I would have been searching for a while to figure that out. I have found something similar that is locally available from radio shack. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062574#tabsetBasic

Do you think that it might be somewhat compatible in this application?

It looks promising, but I don't know the ratings, for the money I would say grab one and try it, the worst that will happen is it will be too small and you'll blow it again
