What makes you think they went bad? As I recall, they are made with huge
wire, maybe 18 ga. How can that fail?

If it really DID fail, try replacing it with a Corcom EMI filter. Much
more effective than the original filters, and it meets current leakage
ratings (which the original bypass caps probably do not).
