The value of the control might be marked on the board too so you could use that as a

One thought is that the brightness control might be heating up and changing value. You
can check the controls easily with a ohm meter. Check ohms across the control when cold,
disconnect ohm meter and plug in the machine until it goes white. Then disconnect and
measure across the control again.
