Agree, sounds like electrical problem, and the OP isn't quite
skilled enough to find it.

I just saw it in the picture and posted what the problem is. I
would have seen it immediately if I was hands on. Look at the wire
colors on the transformer especially the YELLOW, it is taking the
place of the RED wire for low voltage. Notice the yellow and blue
are on one side of the transformer. I don't know why I didn't
notice it before. ^_^


You are sure that's the problem??
There are NO STANDARDS when it comes to transformer wiring colours
(outside of the radio/communications industry, and even there, the
beauty of standards is there are so many to choose from)


Ain't that the truth!

He needs to go by the wiring diagram that came with the transformer,
and VERIFY IT WITH A VOLTMETER.


Which he has already done, if you'd bothered to read all his postings.

I read them. I understood them. I was just replying to the notion
that he had connected the transformer wrong, based on wire colours.

NEVER ASSume anything - check the instructions, follow the
instructions, and verify the results. Particularly with today's supply
chain issues you NEVER ASSume something is what it says it is. Quality
control is not anything close to what it was in, say, the seventies,
and evenTHEN, it was not unheard of to have wrong documentation, or
improperly assembled product (but not nearly as common)
