I have seen ww resistors of the same physical size rated from 10w to 13w. 
 A 10w, 10-ohm resistor should probably work ok in this application.  
However, there is a chance that the resistor was not defective in the 
first place, and there is a circuit fault which caused the failure.  

good luck, Tim.
