The triac is the transistor looking thing?

That should be the problem. Hopefully the numbers on it are readable, we might be able to cross reference a replacement for it then.

Any way to test to see if it's bad?
Pot seems okay. Reads nada when it's off, and gives off a reading when I slowly turn it up.

It would be kinda hit or miss to try and test that without a part number. Without the specs on hand, it's not easy to tell if it's good or bad.
About the only thing you could do is see if it is shorting out. You'll probably need to pull the chip off the board to do it though. And just do a continuity check across all the pins <1-2, 2-3 1-3> If it shows 0 ohm resistance across any of those 3, that would be bad <at least in a transistors case>. Other than that...I can't tell you anything reliable without knowing for sure which pin is which, and what the part actually is.

Yeh, get the numbers off that black thing. Then I can tell for certain what it is.
