Your 2.2 is open circuit, it blew up the moment you powered up. Dont know where you are IE mains voltage but you could have 340V across that 2.2ohm so W=Vsq/R thats a big resistor, no the resistor will be a 2.2meg ohm bands red red green. It seems you have an inductive load there so when you cut the power because the resistor is open there is nothing to damp the collapsing field. But dont put a 2.2ohm across that capacitor, there may be a wire wound 5 or 7 watt surge resistor in the feed to the capacitor but not across it. This resistor should be a high voltage high stability resistor, standard carbon resistors will fail.
