It seems that I’m not the only one the caps blown on the power board of the Play 3 with the terrible plastic burning smell..

Any replacement power board kit out there?

I think the product should have been recalled if not already had happened.

thanks.

Have you read this old thread?:

Unfortunately most of the input there seems to be about the failure of the capacitor and fuse, but not a diode.

It’s also worth noting the reply from Sonos staff on page 2 of that thread - if you contact them about it, they may be able to replace the whole unit at a cost, even outside warranty.

[Edit: try not to pay much attention to the speculation in that thread about “houses burning down” - all components in that area will be made from self-extinguishing materials, so the actual risk of fire from a failure like that should be very low.]
