I have a food dehydrator that is 110v compatible, and was using it with the 200v converter. Unfortunately there were some distractions and the machine was moved away from the 220v converter. Without thinking I plugged it back in without using the converter. Now it's not working. I opened it up to have a look and it seems to be a fairly simple device, except for a fan inside that blows the air onto the food.

Does anyone know of any local electrical repair people that may be able to repair this type of damage?

Is the round silver thing in this picture a fuse?
Other than that I didn't see anything that looks like a fuse.

Agree that it looks like a simple device...

But, you'd need to test it, so probably best to have someone look at it for you
