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.

SOURCE: washing machine

You can try and fix it your self, it sounds like to me the main drum bearing at the back of the drum has gone bad, it all depends if the parts are available and you are up to tearing the unit down to fix it.

SOURCE: smoke has started to come

This is something which you need to probe with precaution as the possibility can be various.
It can be the motor, the capacitor to the motor, the valve, pump or the control board.
in all these cases the observation and inference will be related to your view.

MAke sure that the power is disconnected before you probe into , smelling for the burnt item.

How do the drum caseing come apart to change bearing on my candy go1482 washing machine

Candy GO1482 model is made by Hoover and the drum is welded shut. You can't replace the bearings (cost usually 10 GBP) and a replacement is 220 GBP plus vat. I've just been bitten and hurt badly over it. Next time buy Indesit, Hotpoint or Bosch.

The washine machine finished it's cycle but there was smoke coming out of the drum and a burning rubber smell

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.

My Candy automatic washing machine will not spin

Try the drive belt from motor to the drum it could have stretched a little? The noise you can hear could be the heating element catching the inner drum or something like a wire from a bra came loose in a wash and is trapped between the drums ?

Candy CMD146 Washer/Dryer

This machine has selfcondensing system. The condense water is beeing pumped out with the cooling water. The watertap MUST be open during drying. It also may be caused of overloading. The most W/D combos is just able to dry just the half of a full load in one time.
