LG washing machine with loud buzzing/noisy pump sound

The problem

An LG washing machine was reported to be making a strange buzzing noise. From the discussion, the noise in the video was considered to sound mainly like a very noisy pump, with an additional much louder buzzing noise heard at about 1 minute 8 seconds that was not clearly identified.

Likely cause

Most strongly supported diagnosis is a noisy drain pump or pump-related noise. However, one distinct louder buzzing noise in the recording was not matched to the pump, so the exact cause was not fully confirmed.

What fixed it

The accepted reply identified the pump as sounding very noisy, but no documented repair or replacement was confirmed in the thread. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Checks to try

• Noise in the video was assessed by forum replies
• Accepted reply noted the pump sounded very noisy
• Accepted reply also noted a separate loud buzzing noise at about 1:08 that did not sound like the pump
