Overview
This is an OEM control transformer (part number 1172028) for the ICP WAHM244B1 fan coil / air handler. The transformer steps down high-voltage line power of 208/230V down to the 24V low-voltage control circuit that powers the thermostat, relays, and control board. Rated at 40VA, it supplies the steady, regulated current your low-voltage components need to operate reliably. When a control transformer fails, the entire 24V circuit goes dead — the thermostat goes blank, the system will not respond to a call for heating or cooling, and contactors and relays stop energizing. A buzzing transformer, a tripped low-voltage fuse, or zero reading on the secondary terminals are all classic signs of failure.

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any wiring.
- Access — Remove the service panel to expose the control compartment.
- Document — Photograph all primary and secondary lead connections before disconnecting anything.
- Remove — Disconnect the primary (line) and secondary (24V) leads, then unbolt the failed transformer from its bracket.
- Install — Mount the new transformer, matching the 208/230V tap to your supply voltage, and reconnect the leads exactly per your photos.
- Test — Restore power and confirm 24V across the secondary terminals and normal thermostat operation.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Blank thermostat or completely dead 24V control circuit
- System will not respond to heat or cool calls
- Repeatedly blown low-voltage fuse
- Audible buzzing or no measurable 24V output on the secondary
