Hello,
You can determine the resistors value by reading the color code bands that are marked on it. The following picture is an example of the color codes and there values.
To show you how to read the color codes on a resistor, I am including a link to a video that will explain how to do this easier than I could probably explain it.
I hope this helps you in solving the problem. If you need further assistance please feel free to ask.
If you would not mind, please rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You
Sorry, I forgot to mention in my post that if the resistor is burnt bad enough that you can not read the color codes, list the product brand name and the model number and I will try and locate a wiring diagram for it.
I will start searching for a schematic and hopefully have some information for you this weekend. I did find some support information for you if you are interested. The phone number is toll free at 1-800-955-0959 and here is the email link. Scroll down and you will see the shredders support information and you can also contact them via email if you need assistance in the future.

I've put and image on below of resistor R2. You can easy read colours from picture.
R2 is 470 ohms, 5% tolerance. probably a 1/2 Watt. Reason I know is I have mine apart and R16 and transistor Q4 dead (both - can't read value). R16 is the lowest resistor on the RHS of your photo next to the connector with the blue & white wires. Q4 is to the LHS of the relays. If you still have the shredder, please let me know.
Ah yes thats the problem indeed.
Burnt to a crisp and no hope of getting the color code I'm afraid.
Its a Fellowes DS-13C and I'll put and image on below.
the resistor is to the right of the yellow cap and just below the on/off sw.
