Tempstar 40VA Transformer for T8MPV075F14C1 — 115V to 24V Control Transformer | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM 40VA control transformer (Part No. 1172810) for the Tempstar T8MPV075F14C1 furnace. It converts 115V line voltage to the 24V low-voltage control power that runs the thermostat, gas valve, igniter relay, and control board. If the transformer fails, the entire 24V control circuit loses power and the furnace will not respond to a call for heat. Watch for a dead, unresponsive furnace, a blank thermostat, a buzzing or overheating transformer, a repeatedly blown low-voltage fuse, or a scorched transformer housing. Its 40VA rating supplies more than enough capacity for the control loads on this furnace.

4. Remove — Label and disconnect the 115V primary leads and 24V secondary leads, then unbolt the failed transformer from its bracket.
5. Install — Mount the new transformer, reconnect the primary and secondary wiring exactly per your photo, and confirm all connections are tight.
6. Test — Restore power, call for heat, and verify 24V on the secondary and normal furnace startup with your multimeter.
