How to replace a blown resistor and added conundrums?
There is a resistor or some kind of fuse soldered to the board that needs to be replaced - Has burn marks on it and will not complete a circuit when tested with an ohm meter.
Is the best option to cut it out to see if I can match it up or look for a new board?
Is this a good question?

Can you make out all the markings on it?

It's green on one end, blue on the other. On the green end is a darker green band followed by some discoloration (blown fuse look) and then a black, gold and the last band is brown on the blue end.

@timetothrive post some pictures of what you are looking at with your Question. Use this guideAdding images to an existing question for that. That way we can see what you see. right now it sounds more like a resistor than anything else

This appears to be the only casualty. I'm thinking my best bet is to cut it out on either side and attempt to solder the new one up high rather than low on the board? What do you think?
Also, there may be another problem by the looks of that burned area on the yellow thingamajig?

Same broken kettle, same blown resistor, same scorch marks on the yellow capacitor. Thank you, I'm going to order the resistors today and see if replacing the resistor brings the kettle back to life.
