Well, the replacement is rated at six times the power of the original. The fusible link was protecting something, and with the higher rating it probably isn't any more.
If you can measure the voltage drop across that resistor during normal operation it would be useful.
Something less than 0.1 V would be OK (lower is better) Anything higher is probably an indication of an existing fault (certainly anything over about 0.15V would be a danger sign).
