The front controls became erratic and the remote control also. After awhile there was no control at all. I found oxidation around the leads of the components on the control panel. As i was cleaning this up, the leg on diode D7X1 broke loose. With that loose I got control of the panel back. The symbol on the board shows this to be a zener diode. The only Id on the diode was a 3 and a B. Help would be appreciated.
