Best Answer

we can say that a resistor gone bad if

1. its resistance is different than that printed by the color code

2. doesn't conduct any current

Resistors normally will burn open. Carbon resistors almost always do this, while wireound resistors can lower in resistance. They may still allow current flow, but it will not be correct.
