It is not a resistor that blows. Its called a THERMAL FUSE. Its a heat sensitive fuse that blows at a specific tempature, not current draw. I would NOT bypass it with a jumper. Doing this can cause the coils (resistors) to heat up, and possible start a fire. I do have a How-To on replacing just the Thermal Fuse. Its pretty simple if you can solder and its about $2.

Great write up on replacing just the thermal fuse. Replacing the complete resistor pack is the quickest fix, but if you are looking to save about $15, this is the way to go.
