Hi i have aburning smell coming from the machine but the machine works ok

Hi Steven,if its not having a burnt smell it must be just water vapor,I Iive in this tropical part of the globe so we don't see much of this vapors coming out of our washing machine after spinning..I hope its just some kind of temperature difference and not an expensive problem.Its ok to tell us more of what you are observing,have a nice day amigo !

Hi! It is usually the thin machine oil that becomes a bit thick when the machine is not used.
Nothing to worry about.
Put the machine in the sun every so often to keep the oil thin.

the bad smell you refer to is a smell of the electric motor burned out have the motor replaced the machine should be ok

does the machine have any smell?
do you have a manual?

Hi

The smell usually comes when the washer is unable to drain water completely, you can run your washer at its hottest temperature setting with 1 cup of vinegar inside the unit. After this take off the bottom front panel and clean it completely, also clean the drain hose and drain pump filter, the smell should disappear after doing all this.

Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi from retired Englishman in France,

If the smell is coming from the drain in the sink, it is more likely that THERE is the problem rather than the washing machine. Washing machines deal only with 'dirty' clothes whereas sinks have all sorts of things going down them! You could have a partially blocked u-tube (not to be confused with YouTube!) in the sink because normal (changing/flowing) water in the u-tube should block smells coming from the main/foul water drainage system.
I would definitely investigate the sink! If it is not practical to remove the u-tube, use a propriatory sink cleaner ensuring that it is the right one for the job- OK for plastics or OK for metal (not chrome).

Good luck,

you need to change your fabric softner or do hot washers cold washers
dont work as well try hot washers that will work ok

Hi,

If i got you Correct - Water is not entering the Washer? Am i Correct?

OK,

Few more Details :-

1. Make and Model of the washer?
2. How old the unit is?
3. Any Smell, Noise or Error Message?
4. Any Sequence of Blinks?

Thanks!!

Any smell of electrical burning should encourage you to turn the power to the machine off and call a service person. Fire can destroy a house for the cost of a new switch and A service call
