If it's used as a fuse resistor you may have a short somewhere else too.
Source from wherever you like. eBay, Farnell, Digikey, etc.
That one you linked to should be fine, but it's not going to fail like a fuse in the same way as the old one did on overload. You may wish to add a real fuse in series as well.
Would the inductance of a wire-wound resistor really matter here, given that the heating element is probably coiled and has its own parasitic inductance anyway?
