Just replaced the pump and motor on a Kenmore washing machine. Original equip (2005 model) indicated a duty cycle of 10 mins On and 5 Mins Off. New pump indicates a duty cycle of 2 mins On and 10 Mins off. Is this going to be an issue?? So far, it is working.
 
That's a pretty big gap between the old rating and the new one so I get why it'd catch your eye even with it running fine right now. Keeping an ear on it the first few full loads seems like a smart move. What year and model is the Kenmore you're working on?
