Could be diverter valve wax capsule .
Could also be main pcb, the one that faces you. Is prone to bad solder joints, have a wiggle with the wires at the top row of connectors, be careful, and see it it kicks into life. You will get a buzzing/arcing noise it this is the case.

top left connector on the pcb is the second and
a cooked resistor on the right lower if memory serves
