While the transformer could have just decided to give up, just as you

And you seem sure nothing was shorted out.
Check the wire for broken conductors.
Sometimes you can get a bit overzelous stripping , and actually pull the
inside conductor apart inside the insulation farther down.
Use a needle to pierce the insulation at various points and a V/ohmmeter
