Hi, My washing machine is running fine. However, during the spin cycle there is a burning smell (electrical). What could possible be going wrong with the washing machine? Thank You for your assistance.
We have the same problem, and found out the the electric motor is running very hot. Replacing the motor seam to cure the problem, but the motor is not inexpensive. $200 to $350.
There are a lot of things could cause the burning smell. Best thing will be to remove the service panel and to try to find out the smell source. Good luck!

about my 4th load of laundry,before the spin cycle the electrical breaker will trip. When I open the door it smells
like burnt rubber.
My washing machine (whirpool ultimate care II) runs, but smells like burning/smoke. We need a clearer solution as to how to fix this problem. Can I have step by step instructions on what to do? Thank you!
My husband and I noticed a burned rubber type smell during the spin cycle as well. The clothes appear to be fine and they don't smell, but the smell seems to be lingering long after the wash is over.
