Check it

** I notice a loud buzzing noise during the drain cycle. Do any of you have any idea what this could be? **

Maybe something is caught in the pump?

** Couldn’t I expect to have this machine for longer than this before something goes wrong? **

You could “expect” it but that doesn’t mean it will happen. Besides, depending on what turns out to be the problem, you might even be responsible. If something has gotten into the pump, it likely means whomever is using the washer isn’t checking the pockets, etc., carefully enough before washing them. That wouldn’t be a fault of the machine.

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions about the durability of the washer until the current problem has been identified. That will only happen once someone actually looks into it.
