Maytag Ensignia Smoking

I was washing clothes when my washing machine began smoking. Smoke was coming from inside of the area where the clothes are placed. What are possible causes for this problem and cost associated with each problem.

I had the same exact problem, called a repairman to take a look..he informed me the motor has burnt out! His first thought was the transmission, and said having the motor burnt out is better since it is less expensive.

Smoke was coming out of my washing machine

That would indicate either that either the electric motor is starting to seize up or the belt is slipping.

Smoke coming out of washing machine

If it comes from the bottom, motor and belt need to be checked. If it comes from the top, the control board has something inside burning.

Burning Smell - smoking coming out of it

I believe we tracked it down to the pressure switch mounted on the drain pump. The device had a strong electrical burn smell and is positioned where it could easily have smoked the basket. We're putting the washer back into service and if I have a recurrence I will post the information. BTW ... Replacement was simple and the part was $26 including shipping.

Clothes are still wet after spin cycle

possibly not a machine fault. if drain is connected to sink plumbing, remove the drain hose and see if it pumps out into a bucket.
