Why does the 115V-24V transformer keep blowing on my Trane XB80?
A couple of months ago the heater quit coming on in my upstairs Trane XB80 HVAC
unit. It's been off warranty for about 2 years, and I am enough of a do-it-yourselfer that I'm comfortable with simple repairs. I found that the LED on the control board was not lighting up, and subsequently found that I was not getting 24V output from the 115V-24V transformer. Sure enough, the 24V circuit was open, so I found a local replacement transformer (not the exact form factor, but same specs) and things worked fine after I replaced it. Now, I have the very same problem (only this time it's the A/C that's trying to come on; not that it matters), and once again 24V is missing on the output side of the transformer. This time the 24V circuit has continuity, but the 115V circuit is open. Of course, I can replace the transformer AGAIN, but I'd sure like to know what could be causing this problem... Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. |
