The smoke is coming through the drum, but I'm afraid you burned out the motor. Perhaps the main motor, perhaps the pump motor.
You only can find out, when looking inside. When you don't have the skills please don't do this yourself. It can cost you your fingers or your life if you make a mistake while opening the machine.
Unplug the washing machine from your electrical plug immediately, and do not run the washer at all. The longer you run the machine with smoke coming out of it, the more expensive will be the repairs. Not only that, but, you could have smoke damage, and cause yourself health problems by breathing in the toxic smoke. Your question can only be answered by physically inspecting the machine. Please have it serviced by a qualified service technician.
The usual cause of smoke coming out of drum is that the heater element has come on or stayed on with no water in the drum
Try it on a spin cycle only, if smoke still comes out of drum, then could be a faulty pump, or main motor is burning.
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.
it may just be a wire rubbing the tub and the insulation is gone. smoke means something is not right. the drive motor will smoke if the windings overheat neccesitating a new motor. - the start or run capacitor for the motor may be bad.
do you actually see smoke or is it you have a burning smell
if you have a smell the motor may be overloading on spin
sometimes this is due to too much soap powder in wash
and when machine spins the water cant get away due to soap suds under and around bowl
acts like a brake on motor
try no soap powder in next wash
a good way to tell is that you still have soap in washing if you lift the lid (with no soap powder added)
