Absolutely!

At the very least, you should remove the circuit board from the case and check the output transistors for short circuits. Each channel uses four 2N3055's so if one has gone, all four must be replaced. Also check the bridge rectifier to see if that has gone short circuit.

Any of these could have cause the transformer to fail.
