Need help - TAZ4 nozzle not heating up

My TAZ 4 nozzle stopped heating up completely…

I took out the heating resistor and ohmed it out. It’s all melty and misshapen and only read 2.7 ohms instead of the 4.7 it’s supposed to be. It also fluctuates its resistance a bit. Would this be enough to cause it to not heat up at all? FYI I did read 24 volts from the leads going to the heating resistor…
