    There’s a combination of flaws. The strainer basket doesn’t do a very good job keeping debris out of the impeller. There’s little separation between the steainer and the impeller. So long hairs that are partially caught in the strainer can still wrap around the impeller.

    The pump itself has a terrible impeller design. The impeller is nylon and is press fit onto a 1/8 brass rod that just has a flat ground on it, no knurling or splines. The nylon cracks easily and ends up free spinning.

    They use the same pump in loads of washer models. So yes, there’s a very large user base, but that’s a lot of people with part failures. The pump is garbage and lg should not be using it.

    If an upvote is an “I like this” button, then it’s bad UX design to expect people to not use the downvote as an “I don’t like this button.” If there needs to be an “off topic” button then it shouldn’t be styled and placed to look like the exact opposite of the “I like this” button.
