Transformer On Paragon Kiln?

Is it a common occurrence for a transformer to go out on a Paragon TNF 27-3 or any kiln for that matter?   In my 5 years of kiln ownership I haven't seen a transformer problem.   I'm waiting till Monday when people are here before I do the electrical test with the multi meter, but  right now it seems that the transformer is the only issue if a controller doesn't get any power?  I tested the outlet and box and power is at the receptacle.    And from what I can see it's not the fuse.  Or wiring.   So isn't transformer the only option?   I really want to just order one Monday and skip that test tbh.    I don't relish the idea of poking around a kiln with the power on.

In 11 years of repair work I've only seen 1 transformer go out. If there's no power to the controller I would suspect the fuse first, or more likely the fuse holder. It's unusual for a fuse to blow, but not unusual for the fuse holder to have an issue. They're just plastic junk. Unfortunately, you're going to have to follow the power with a meter. If you're just checking the controller, you shouldn't have to power on the elements.
