LG LG WM2016CW Side load washing machine loud noise (clip included)

Washer Repair
1

Hello Pros,

Please help diagnose what this SUPER loud buzzing noise is. It happens

  1. once the wash cycle is over.
  2. The video shows the sound starting at the same time it starts to spin, BUT this is not the case all the time. For example, after the initial wash cycle, the water will drain, then pause, then it will make this sound without any spin or anything happening.
  3. That louD “GLUGACHOOO” sound at the end is the sound coming from the drain pipe. Seems to be draining fine though.

From what I could gather online, I suspected the drain pump or something to do with the drain pump. (This is all speculation as I have no idea) But it’s almost like it’s trying to engage to spin, but it’s not registering or something. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Hello, thanks for replying. Does r and r mean replace repair motor? I’m going to replace the drain pump motor and see what happens, ty
