Of course not. Money doesn't grow on trees, and it also costs society
to dispose of and make new. Mine is 27 years old and works fine.
(I did replace the pump once, but I broke open the old one and could
find nothing wrong. Now I think that the discharge hose was kinked.
When I moved the washer away from the wall, the kink went away. Shame
on me.)

Which function is it leaving, and which is it supposed to start?

This one I don't know.
