It steps the 120V line voltage down to 24V to power the thermostat, gas valve, control board, and relays. Rated at 40VA, it delivers enough capacity to drive the furnace controls plus an air-conditioning contactor on a shared low-voltage circuit. When a transformer fails — usually from a shorted thermostat wire, a stuck contactor, or simple age — the entire 24V system goes dead: no thermostat display, no call for heat or cool, and no response from the control board. A buzzing or hot transformer, or a blown low-voltage fuse that keeps recurring, points to a transformer at the end of its life or a downstream short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1177217\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Transformer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP \/ Tempstar \/ Heil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 VA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFits Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWFMR070A036B2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM direct replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect OEM fit for the ICP WFMR070A036B2 furnace and its Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire equivalents.
