The transformer is generally the least likely item to fail, but it

I can't agree. Thermal fuses age,


everything does. Thermal fuses are far more reliable than the electronics

faulty that can apply a larger than designed load on the transformer its
going to go pop.


it might if the electronics is already fried. That leaves the tranny as the most reliable part.
