Anyone Know What This (Ed: Electronic part) Is Called?

Well, in 2017 I was on here asking about fan capacitors.
Blow me down (pun intended) here I am again with a similar question.
Manrose 'Gold' timer fan, started surging but worked perfectly on timer, so no bearing issues.
Eventually it just stopped all together (strangely straight after I'd vacuumed any fluff and debris from the blades).
I have since bypassed the circuit board and the fan works as it should on the switched live.
I'm pretty sure I can see which bit has blown on the board.
Both areas around the connection at each end are brown.
There isn't an id number on it.
Anyone know what it's called/where to get one? In case it's not clear, it's the pink banded beast.

I'd love to have a go and see if that's what the problem is with these things as I've noticed others having the same issue with the same model.
One weak component causing the failures maybe.
Cheers.

Do you have a multimeter?

That is a 2.2KΩ (2.2 Kilo Ohm) resistor but to be honest it doesn't look like it's overheated.
 
The board looks discoloured where the legs at both ends of that resistor go through. What's it like on the other side of the board?

I can literally smell the roasting PCB!

Oh yes the very familiar smell of cacogenic boiling resin never did nobody no harm.

Just to correct you, its actually a 220 Ohm 5% resistor.

2.2K would be red red red.
In case you want to verify this.

Although your correct, it does not look like it is faulty, it's more probable that the solder joint has failed on it.
 
Red Red Orange

2 2 3 where 3 is the multiplier ( number of zeros )

22000

Orange can on an overheated resister appear to be more brown than orange

And the Manrose circuit diagram show it to be 22Kohms
 
 
My experiance with resistor color codes is that they are useful as a cross-check, but reading one with no prior information carries a high chance of a misread.

My apologies, however on this laptop, regardless of how much I squint, view from different angles, different lighting etc I cannot make it look like anything other than 2.2KΩ but Random's pic is undoubtedly 22KΩ.
On another laptop I clearly see 22KΩ for both.

Not being funny or critical etc I've not struggled to 'read' values of 3 band components for 60 years and at the beginning there was as much Body, Tip, Dot around. Until recently with LED lighting.

Now I'm finding some of the four band versions are getting very tricky to identify for 3 reasons:
1/ Obviousely LED lighting colour cast. Brown, Red and orange in particular often merge together as do Violet, Grey, White.
2/ The colours themselves vary so much. Sometimes 2 adjacent components may have say orange of one looking exactly like the red on the other etc.
3/ What value is this?

Well it looks like red, red, brown to me.
for a that resistor 220r also seems more likely to me.

for no3 - assuming that it is red,brown,red,black,orange,orange. = 212 Ω ±0.05% (W) 15ppm/K (P)

Either way, whatever value it is - it's best to actually measure it with a multimeter to confirm it's value.

Bernard, care to share that circuit diagram?

If it was 220 Ohms, that poor little resistor would be dissipating about 130 Watts!
