Yes you should be OK ..

Or, have confidence in your repair. If it failed at the pin, it was a
solder problem, not something more ominous.

If the new soldering was done properly, it should last. If it were something
else, it's likely the failure would be inside.

Garage door opener power supply transformer has an opened primary. It's
actually a burnt coil wire right on the pin. I did manage to solder it
back on but I'm worried it may fail again.

It's a 38V CT. Of course I can't find the *exact* replacement, but can
I use a 36V CT ?
