Hi can anyone help identify this resistor? Its burnt out (open) and the colors are tough to read. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
That blue capacitor is actually a thermistor - look at the back of the board.
Thanks for everyone's help here. The resistor was open, and burnt quite badly so colours were not true. I thought it might be 100 ohms but after all the feedback it seems that 1 meg is the right choice. I'll try it today. Many thanks again to everyone, its appreciated.
True.Assuming it is 1 Meg? - it's not really a value which you would expect to 'burn up', as it's power dissipation should be pretty low.
True.
But the thought occurs to me that resistors also have a voltage rating, and that resistor will have been subjected to mains voltage for long periods.
It seems reasonable that overvolt operation will eventually result in failure.
