Overview

This OEM control transformer (part number 1172810) steps line voltage down from 115V to 24V to power the low-voltage control circuit in your Tempstar T8MPT050B12B1 furnace. Rated at 40VA, it supplies the thermostat, control board, gas valve, and relays. A failed transformer is one of the most common causes of a completely dead furnace — no thermostat display, no call for heat, and no response from the control board. Replacing it restores 24V power to the entire control system.

How do I replace the transformer on my Tempstar T8MPT050B12B1 — 115V to 24V | Ships Today?

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.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Tempstar transformer?
