So I've been having issues an LG washer, which is less than a year old. I had an LG tech come and check it out, and he said it's operating fine. I can't say for certain if it's been doing this since I bought it, but definitely within 2 months of buying.
I took a video of an entire wash/rinse/spin cycle - 58 minutes. I counted how many times the drain pump came on and off, and it was around 85 times!
For the most part, the pump will come on for about 3 seconds while agitating, turn off for about 5 seconds, and repeat. It sounds like it doesn't stay on long enough to get the suds out of the drainage tube, as you can hear them bubbling back down the tube each time the pump shuts off.
The clothes do not come out soaking wet, so that's not an issue, but it is rather annoying listening to that pump for an hour, and I can help but think it'll wear prematurely.
Can someone confirm/deny whether this is normal operation?
