Gary, I've seen the 195, 203 with these blue resistors turning so white you can't make out the bands. If you feel better, replace it..but I don't think it will hurt anything. If you replace it..go a little higher in power rating.

I pulled front panel control board and cleaned it up. Set works fine. I notice RF09 near front on main board has gone white in the center (no water got on the main board). Do I need to bother replacing it, or do these normally go white? What is the value, and is it a fusible resistor being it is marked, "RF..."?
