Licklieder,
Hi, I would probably used it as an excuse to buy a cheap desoldering station from China, as it happened I was able to take it into work to remove the IC with the kit they have.
Hi,
That looks likke the right resistor to me, for the cost I would probably get the IC replaced as well, have you measured the resistance on the resistor to confirm it's gone faulty?

Another update, it stopped working again ......... resistor went open circuit so I suspect that it wasn't 10 Ohms so I got the old resistor and broke it in half and as it was wire wound I could measure some sections of the wire coil with a meter.
The bits I could measure added up to 30 'ish...
Just in case anyone has the same issue, I replaced the resistor with a 3W 10 Ohm one and replaced the LNK304GN and everything has powered up OK and it's working fine, now to see how long it will last!
It cost me just under a fiver for the parts (had to buy 5 of the ICs) instead of around £100...
Update
I removed the resistor and the colours were less damaged underneath and I think it's a 10 Ohm resistor, the datasheet states a fusible resistor should be used but I don't think the one I've removed is fusible.
Hi,
My Dishwasher packed up yesterday and there appears to be no power, the display doesn't power up etc.
I've stripped the front of and checked that the mains is getting to the control module, and it was, so I removed the control module and opened it up to have a look.
I found the Power...
