High Pitched "Noise/Squeal" from electrical cabinet.

On my 2017 3911FB, I get a high pitch noise from the C.B./Fuse cabinet anytime the furnace runs. Any ideas?

It may be the fan on the converter portion of the panel. The heater fan sucks a lot of 12V. Ideally that 12V comes from your batteries. The converter replaces the 12V used. The production of the 12V from 120V causes heat which the converter fan mitigates.

You might want to check your batteries are fully charged and have adequate water if they are lead acid.

Sounds like maybe a bad bearing. Converter fan is a good guess. Also, if your furnace and breaker panel are close, it could be the furnace fan making the noise. Squeal is not a typical electrical noise.

I guess you've never been shocked?

OK, I will give you that one. And yes, I have, many times as an EE.
