Hi,
I purchased a new LG washing machine and had it installed. When installed the hot water hose was making a loud vibrating noise (like a machine gun) while the tub was filling. The installer said it was air in the line and would go away. Well I've done many loads and it's the same. Someone suggested it was water hammer, but my understanding is that water hammer is when the valve turns off, not when water is filling the tub. I'll be calling the company to send someone out, but wanted to run it by here for any ideas as to what it may be. I tried moving the hose while it was doing it, but this has no affect. I did find a youtube video online that displays the same issue I am having, but there were no responses as to what it is. Thanks for your help.
