Default Resistor not the same as schematic

Another thing is they could have used a one ohm, or just nothing. But that resistor is actually not a fusible, it is a decoupling resistor. Look at test instruments, they will have 12V and 12VDCPL that only means there is a coil or resistor on there to isolate DCPL from ripple on the line, high or low frequency, DCPL means decoupled.

Most of them you can actually just jump out, but at 220 ohms it was probably meant to drop a few volts. But don't jump it out permanently.

Just jump it out and see if anything smokes or gets hot, if so that is usually the fault. If not then the resistor just went bad. It happens.
