I have a controller for an electric throw blanket that I would like to repair, but I have no experience soldering on boards

You can see at bottom left a yellow box and a resistor. Something has burnt out in this area, and likely both will need to be replaced at a minimum

I would also need help identifying parts. The yellow box is embossed ‘Tenta’ and has printed on the side ‘TC MEX/TENTAMKP 0.1 uf 275VAC’ with some other markings obscured or damaged

Is this an achievable project?

    I would be extremely careful, since it failed for a reason and you were very lucky not to set the house on fire, which looks like it came pretty close to.

      Thanks. Can you help identify what the components are? It would be interesting to at least have an idea what the failure mode was. It appears burnt but there was no smoke and no apparent smell until I opened the case days later
