If it never buzzed before I think I might be worried. Have you ever tightened the connections in your transfer switch? This should be done about once a year as general maintenance.

When my transfer switch starts to make to much noise, I tighten all the connector lug and blow it out with clean dry air. Just make sure you are not connected to shore power or have the generator running when servicing.

Thanks all, will chase that tomorrow.

I bought a used Class A and after about 6 months my transfer switch went out. The repair tech said a wire had come loose and shorted it out. It was a Surge Guard transfer switch. I replaced it with a Surge Guard Combo transfer switch and electrical management system that checks for low and high voltage, reverse polarity, negative ground etc, so now I don’t need to pluge one into the pedestal.
