If it is a 2w resistor that is probably why it is open. The bleeder resistors are 15K 10-watt. I replace them with 20K 10-watt resistors, which reduces the heat dissipated in the chassis. It still bleads off the charge fast enough to be safe.

All great information and thank you.?
I have found that R201 one of two wirewound 15k 2W bleeder resistors is open. R202 is good at 14.7k.? I wouldn't have thought an open bleeder could result in high DC out.?
