Smoke out of washing machine

The washing machine stopped spinning, power is on and now smoke is coming out of the machine. I turned it off. Drained the water by pushing the button as though the top is closed and ran spin cycle for a few minutes just to drain. Now what might be causing the smoke and no spinning?

SOURCE: Frigidaire front load washer (LTF600ES1) Error E20

holla, Im not showing a E20 code on the tech sheet. There is a E21. Water not draining fast enough. Try holding the start/pause and cancel key together for 3 seconds. The door lock, wash, rinse and final spin leds should light. Any error codes should be displayed when holding those keys. If you see a different error code, post it. If not, I would suspect a clogged pump...Catriver.

SOURCE: Washer will not Spin during SPIN CYCLES

IT IS THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY, COST AROUND $50.00 WHICH IS FAR BETTER THAN $300.00, WHAT A SERVICE REPAIR PERSON WILL CHARGE YOU. YEA IT'S THE CRAZIEST THING IMAGINABLE, THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY BEING THE CAUSE FOR IT TO NOT SPIN ALL THE WATER OUT. I FIXED MINE MYSELF, HAD TO TAKE IT ALL APART VERY CAREFULLY, BUT I SAVED MYSELF $250.00. YOU CAN GET THE PART ONLINE OR GO TO NEAREST APPLIANCE PARTS STORE IN YOUR CITY. ASK FOR DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY. THEY WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT IS A VERY COMMON, I REPEAT VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS BRAND OF WASHING MACHINE.

SOURCE: frigidaire washing machine no spin cycle

I had the same problem with my Frigidaire Affinity front load washer. It would go through the wash cycle but would not do the final spin cycle that takes the access water out of the clothes. It would actually cut off when it got to be 6 minutes left. I checked the hoses, belt, motor and pump but all were functioning properly. I even cleaned out the filter thats located in front of the water pump. It was full of coins and other debris but it still didnt fix the problem. I called the repairman and he concluded that the control board was bad and would have to be relaced. The board is $200 and labor $140. It will cost you $340 dollars to correct this problem unless you know how to replace the control board yourself. Only had the washer for 3 years. I wouldnt expect something like that to occur within that short period of time.

Samsung WA13G7Q1 machine runs all cycles until it comes to the spin cycle then the machine stops. what could be the cause of this?

If all the water has drained the most common fault is the brake motor which releases the drum so it is free to turn,with the back off and a torch you should be able to see the lever and cable being retracted id nothing happens on spin thatd your problem

My Crosley CAW8350EW1 wash machine just stopped after the last spin cycle drained and the spin light keeps flashing. I'm wondering if that would be the timer or something else?

make sure that it didn't stop because of an unbalanced situation
as it is draining it should be turning slowly and as soon as it empties the spin speed picks and and the unbalance stops the machine

My lg washer model wm2050c will not turn; its as if there is no power coming to it. It stopped in the middle of a wash load. I removed the wet clothes and drained it. Circuit breaker already checked.

does it agitate and u mean it doesn't spin? could have a bad mortor coupler, slipping clutch or seized transmission. and some models a bad door switch will not allow a spin either

Washer emitting burning smell and smoke on fast spin

Yes, the heating element is coming on when it shouldn't. A likely cause is the pressure pot (Level sensor sender unit) being blocked with sludge. You'll find this under the machine, either screwed to the RH side of the tub, near to the front of the machine secured by three Philips screws, or attached to the side of the big hose that goes from the tub to the pump,secured by a Jubilee clip, underneath the machine. disconnect the power and remove the pressure pot, in both cases it's a long rigid white plastic tube, from one end of which comes a narrow flexible plastic hose which goes up to the top of the cabinet and is attached to the pressure switch itself. This tube is likely to have a load of muck in it, as its bottom end. Clean this out, and if your element didn't burn out, then everything should now be fine.
