We hear a high-pitched whine when the furnace kicks on. We think it's the furnace fan. Could it be anything else?
We've got bad weather coming, and we don't want to pull the furnace out the back until we are ready to swap the fan. Which means ordering from Winnebago and hoping we guessed right about the cause of the whine. Suggestions?

Most likely it is either the bearing going out in the motor, or something has shifted and it’s hitting the edge of the shroude. 95% it’s the bearings going out.

Thanks, that's what we thought. I've tracked down the part number for the fan motor from Suburban and we're ordering it.

If it’s like the last two Iv done take photos before and during dis assembly. Saves a ton of pain on reassembling ir

I don't have any knowledge about furnaces in our Sprinter, but could it be a worn belt? I have had the same experience in the past with some old cars, so if the furnace operates using a drive belt, you might want to check out the worn-belt scenario.

The blower motor is directly connected to the circular fans and are not belt driven.
