What us the value of a Brown Grey Silver Gold Black resistor?

I am trying to repair my Pool Clorinator power supply that self destructed after a colony of ants moved in.

I have replaced a blown FET and the only other component that looks off is this resistor that is measuring almost a dead short. I do expect it to be a low value, but I think it seems to be too low.

What us the value of a Brown Grey Silver Gold Black (or V.V.) resistor?

None of the 5 band online calculators that I have tried accept this value as the last band should not be either brown or black?

I don't have a schematic and the service manual only suggests replacement of the power supply if faulty, so no help for repairs.

Thanks in Advance

Peter.

My guess is that it's 0.18 ohms 5%, so yeah, it will appear almost like a dead short
