Washer wont spin, smells like burning glws1649

Sounds like the belt may need to be changed. it eh pulley are spinning but the belt is not, nothing will spin and the friction of the pulley against the belt will cause a burning rubber smell

The burning rubber smell is coming from the belt which goes around the drum and is driven by the motor. The belt has probably stretched and is now slipping. It will need to be replaced.

Good luck!

The burning you smell is probably the belt slipping. There is a belt which is attached to pulleys. The belt engages to spin the basin in the washer. When this belt slips the burning smell happens because the pulleys are spinning and the belt isn't. You will probably need to adjust the tension on the pulleys or get a new belt. This can happen from constantly overloading the washer or trying to get the washer to wash and extra large load while the water level is set at a smaller load.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING STUCK IN THE WATER PUMP OR YOUR MOTOR COUPLING IS BAD

The belt could be worn and will be slipping on the pullys, as it spins up the rubber , rubs against the pullys and that is what creats the burning rubber smell, the belt needs replacing.

check belt under the machine.maybe the pump or another pulley is locking up.turn your pulleys by hand to see how much tension is their.you may just need a belt

It sounds like your belt has burnt off. take the front off the washer or tip the washer back to check it. easy fix.

its your timer if just humming not running

could be a stuck gear box. burning rubber smell is coming from the belt sliding .

or the belt is just loose and can not turn the drum to spin it.
