Does sump hose have a table tennis ball in it? If so, try removing it. Better still, try and observe the sump hose when machine is pumping. Is it getting crushed by vacuum pressure?

Only thing I’ve ever had of the like was a Zanussi Askoll where the impellor shaft was actually loose inside the magnet of the rotor. But you implied that you have changed the pump so I assume it’s not that.
I assume you’ve had sump and drain hoses off and tipped out any loose coin or colourcatchers.
It’s not impossible for a pump to get a reduced voltage if its supply comes via a relay or a triac and there’s a burnt terminal or dry joint for example. Best way to check would be to try powering it from a seperate mains lead.
One last thought, could there be a blockage somewhere preventing air getting into the top of the drum? Try pulling out soap dispenser?

Mike has a point about the pump not getting the full 240v, I have saw a timer problem causing reduced voltage to the pump on more than one occasion.
