buzzing/growling LG wm3431hs during draining
hi all,
i just bought a used old LG washer dryer all in one. it seem to work great but when the drain pump starts it is super loud for a few seconds then gets a little quieter but still pretty loud. its a buzzing/humming/vibration.
I swapped the pump for a new one and it is still making the noise. it happens during drain cycles and drying cycles. the drain hose appears to be free of debris. i also tried to stop any pump vibration by stuffing a piece of rolled up yoga mat underneath the pump.
first video is during wash cycle
second is during dry cycle
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Could be the drum bearing or something caught between the drum and the tub. Does the vibration get better or worse with a light load? Does it spin okay or does the noise change? Does the drum feel loose and saggy? Have you checked the suspension to see if the springs are all still secured?

Thanks for the response.
Vibration/noise is the same with small or large load.
Seems to spin fine with no noise.
The suspension seems fine.
The noise only happens when water is draining. Spinning or not.
Can’t find anything in either hose connected to the pump or the pump filter.

Jackson Traub darn that is definitely a nasty noise and I don't think this is quite normal. You said the new pump did not make a difference but this only happens when it is draining so it has the be in that cycle somewhere. The moment the relay clicks for the drain it just goes crazy.....thanks for the second video. Now I am further stumped. Why would the drain pump come on during the dry cycle? Time to really consult the manual. Does your washer allow you to unplug the drain pump and run those cycles again?

I believe the drain pump comes on during drying because it is a condensation dryer so it’s pulling water out and needing to send it out of unit

I think I could unplug it and run cycle. I’ll have to take apart the unit and put it back together with it unplugged. So it will take a bit. I’ll give that a try. Thanks. I’ll keep you posted
