18k 1W resistor. A 0.5W one will burn out if you try to dissipate 1W with it. If you only have 18k 0.5W take 4 and put 2 in series, 2 in series and then place the 2 series strings in parallel and see if it works then. That will be a 18k 2W resistor. May not fit if the space is tight but will at least prove if it is the fault.
