Good morning,
I am working on a 60+ year old furnace that has been working great for us and is on the list to be replaced but trying to get one more Michigan winter out of it.
I am trying to test the transformer out of the furnace. It has to leads going in black/hot and white/neutral. I put 120 volts in and check the two screws and I have nothing.
So I went and purchased a new one and of course wanted to bench test it before putting it in and I have the same results.
I have my meter set to 200v DC because it goes from 20v then to 200v, I also did the test with the sound and I get a beep that it's good on both sides.
Also I have returned the first one and got another thinking it was defective.
So am I doing something wrong or do I have another bad one?
I watched a video that said if I had the tone on both side that it was good, so I just don't know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for any help.
