Overview

This OEM control transformer (part #1172810) converts the incoming 115V line voltage to the 24V control voltage that powers your Tempstar T8MPN150J20B2 furnace's thermostat circuit, gas valve, igniter sequence, and control board. Rated at 40VA, it provides the low-voltage power the entire control system relies on to operate. A failed transformer kills the furnace on the low-voltage side: the thermostat may go dark, the unit ignores calls for heat, and the control board's low-voltage fuse may blow repeatedly. A transformer that buzzes, overheats, or smells scorched has failed internally and should be replaced before it damages other components.

Access — Remove the furnace control/blower access panel.
Document — Photograph all primary (line) and secondary (24V) wire connections before disconnecting.
Remove — Disconnect the wire leads, remove the mounting screws, and lift out the old transformer.
Install — Mount the new transformer and reconnect the 115V primary and 24V secondary leads exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power, confirm 24V at the secondary terminals, and verify the furnace responds to a call for heat.

How do I replace the transformer on my Tempstar T8MPN150J20B2 — 115V to 24V | Ships Today?

Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Photo wiring connections. Step 3: Disconnect wires from old transformer. Step 4: Remove mounting hardware. Step 5: Install new transformer, reconnect wires matching voltage ratings. Step 6: Verify 24V output with multimeter.

My thermostat has no power. What failed?

Thermostat with no display = failed 24V transformer (or blown control board fuse). Check the 3A/5A fuse on the control board first ($1–$5 fix). If fuse is good but no 24V output from transformer, replace transformer.

Is this transformer compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Tempstar transformer?

OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
