Default Correct DC resistance of wax motor?

I too had R11/Q6 fail on the circuit board of a MAH3000AWW. According to the service manual, the DC resistance of the 12002535 door wax motor should be around 1900 ohms. The resistance of the old brown actuator wax motor was around 1K ohm. I ordered a replacement from APP, but the DC resistance of this new (black actuator) wax motor is even lower at 950 ohms. Does anybody know if this is OK? (Maytag's Priority One staff doesn't and neither do the local Maytag repair companies.) I sure don't want to end up frying the control board again.
