Apparently, this is a common fault in Mercedes.
That can be the "Resistor" but it is often the potentiometer in the climate control module. Iv'e replaced no less than 40 of them for owners here in the states.
Any electronics/radio shop can change the part, and I can tell you where to order one, if it comes to that. No garage is likely to be able to change it, as it involves circuit board level de-soldering and soldering.
