Hi. Welcome back Andy. It sounded Ok here but volume not very loud. After filling up a bit they always energise the pump and that sounds like the pump running. However, if there was a problem with the pump it should make the same noise each time it empties the water unless each other time it pumps the main motor is also whooshing around.

Thanks Andy. yes its good to be back. Its strange how it makes the noise at the beginning. I wonder if at the beginning maybe its pumping dry and there is not enough water in the tub before it starts pumping somehow and thats why its making the noise. Its a shame you cannot hear the noise on the video because it is quite loud in the kitchen when it does it, embarrassing as well because it sounds like a loud fart noise lol 😄
