4 out of 10 times whenever I press the button it works.How do I know if the transformer that needs replacement or if the wiring itself that went wrong? I have replaced the button and it should not be the problem itself.How much would it cost if you send someone to fix it?Thanks.—> …Purchase or Repair:
