I don't see a transistor in the pics. The FL408 looks like a bridge rectifier, changes AC to DC. You should be able to measure an AC voltage across the two ~~ (center) terminals, and DC out between the + and - terminals.
I suspect the varistor was to protect rectifier, and sacrificed itself in a heroic battle with a voltage surge.

Thanks, Dad. The picture is only for reference, and shows an identical varistor that's nearby. the fried one is the same spec but the markings didn't photo well.
It's already out and I'm ready for the new one.
