SOURCE: burning rubber smell

Even though manufacturers' love to advertise it, I personally would not load "too many items", as it may cause excessive normal ware and tear on your machine parts, motor, belt, etc.

Yes; the smell can be the belt and possibly your motor as well. The motor may be spinning, but the weight may be too much when the belt is engaging to rotate the drum. I would be careful not to burn the motor (About $120 - part only)

You should be able to access and inspect the drive-belt in the rear of the machine by removing an access panel (back of washer).

To replace the belt if fairly simple. Remove and re-install by wedging a long screw driver in between the belt and metal pulley (circular), while simultaneously rotating the pulley.

You may be required to make a belt repair if you start to have problems with your "washer not spinning" or "making a noise/not spinning"

SOURCE: The washer driving belt breaks.

Sounds like a spin bearing might be bad:

SOURCE: There is a strong oil smell in the dryer

If you have recently painted or varnished inside your home the fumes in the air can create a hydrocarbon type smell in your dryer. This should stop as soon as the house is aired out.

Why does my dryer smell like rotten cabbage?

I would suspect your "green" concoction got into the lint that "lives" inside the machine. Unbeknown to you, dryers have a lot of lint inside that is never cleaned, it just builds up.
In the last 20 dryers I have repaired, about 10 had a shoe-box or two full of lint inside.
Perhaps the mixture you added made mildew or mold accidentally in the lint nest.
Also, if you are in a complex and you'all have shared exhaust, perhaps it is someone elses problem.
You could take your dryer completely off the circuit and close off the "shared" vent system.
Then , see if that makes any difference.
I suppose you could also try to run your dryer inside your condo for 5 minutes to see if the smell is coming from your dryer when it is not hooked up to anyone elses.
If the smell is from yours, you will need to completely dismantle your machine to get every trace of lint and smell out.
God bless your efforts.

Almost unable to turn steering wheel.Heat smell coming from around Alternator belt but belt runnig fine and tension good. When turning wheel after 5 minutes engine running the ESP ABS and Alternator lights...

engine RPM must be near 800 not 400.
for all accessories to work , alternator, and P/S and A/C

so RPM is first.
next is belts must not slip.

the engine is running too slow. that is called bad idle controls
the PCM controls idle at all times perfectly
so its lost control and that is causes by 50 reasons.
get it serviced, is what you do.
or learn to fix cars. if you didnt notice low RPM then you need to learn that first.,

low rpm can be cause by
1: never getting a tuneup ever?
2: bad spark. weak or worse dead plugs.
3: bad fuelling, (too lean, or to rich misfiring)
4:bad engine, (50 reason) but can be vacuum leaks or ISC valve stuck closed, or EGR valve stuck open.

next time ALT lamp comes on , use your right foot to raise rpm to 800 or more, id bet the alt light goes out, and the P./S pump wakes up.

this a common problem when the start winding or the bearings are going in the motor and the motor cannot get to the proper speed to activate the switch if there is no thumping or odd noises after it is running you probably need a new motor

Getting a cigarette smell coming out of the air vents. Just bought the car and didn't notice a smell before.

getting rid of cigarette smell is nigh on impossible,without taking down the whole dash/heater matrix/a/c system.and steam cleaning the whole thing.you could try an aerosol spray(from a dealer)that you spray into the outside air vent,but that only maskes it,unless it is very strong.(the nicotine sticks to everything)smoking should be banned in cars......same as cellphones.....
