Washer works perfectly fine - including the agitator. Clothes stuck to side of well when wash done. Clothes clean.
Smells like either plastic melting or funky electrical burning smell. Pretty strong. No signs of anything wrong or melted when I look under washer.
Any thoughts?
Run the washer then smell the motor or see if anything has jumped the tub and causing the clutch to pull harder
Ive experienced a smell, somewhat electrical in nature. when the motor is over worked,, restricted incoming power supply, or simply a fluky one time issue and never repeated again.. generally the motor overheats and trips off on overload, shuts off temporarilly and then restarts with no sign of problem.i guess it would be possible that perhaps theres something stuck between the tubs and at high speed spin causes friction against the tubs causing a smell, but not likely cause that usually heard, or prevents unit from spinning at all. other then checking your incoming power supply for at least 110v. probably not much else to look into. Obviously its not my house, and if it was to happen again or with any sorta frequency, call someone in to look at.

I have the same problem, however the burning smell was only on the permanent press cycle at first. Now it is on the normal cycle as well. A repairman is coming tomorrow. I will update once he (or she) tells me what's wrong. Another post with agitator problems said it was the clutch (and there was an accompanying burning smell) but we'll see.
Clothes have plastic shavings mix with clothes and making funny noise
