Dear Sir.
I tested the circuit below.
The load is a filament heater with 3.3Ohm,
but the LM555 timer was sometimes dead and LED was burnt.
Could you check what is problem with this circit ?
Best Regards,Yoon.

Yoon,
My suspicion is inductive kickback from the heating element. Although it is a resistive element, they are generally made of wound coils which also look like an inductor. In this case adding a transient voltage suppression diode (TVS diode) to the supply line could help with this scenario.
We have a series on EOS. If you look to the right of this link you will see 4 videos 12.1 through 12.4 that will walk you through these events and choosing components for protection.
Dear Chris.
Thank you so much !
After checking 12.1~4. I applied some TVS to my circuit.
Best Regards,Yoon.
