When my wash load finished smoke came out when I opened the door, what do you suggest is the problem?

Load finished fine but did have a slight burn smell

    Where theres smoke there is not always fire........ check the rubber seal around the tub and basket. Most likely the basket is rubbing the seal somewhere. This is caused by bearings going bad or the spider that holds the tumbler is cracked or broken. Most places are going to tell you to replace the entire tub assembly. If the bearings are not molded in, you can teplace the bearings and spider yourself.

I would unplug it not very safe to use, if it smoke, and where there smoke there a fire.

Since its a washer not a dryer I would say that something got water on a IC board and it about to short out.

I just opened my washing machine door after finishing a wash and there was smoke coming out of the door and a smell of burning. It is a Hoover model no HWB814D-80S.

Was the burning a burned rubber smell? Maybe its your belt. either off track or worn down and motor is spinning but the belt is not turning. Just something to check.

Maytag frontloading washer - MAH4000AWW- after last load, when I opened the door, there was a slight burning smell and a little smoke - could it be a belt? the motor?

Usually this a sign that the bearings are slowly starting to cease not dangerous but eventually will get louder as time goes by

Maytag Neptune MAH5500BWW burn smell (doesn't appear to be hose)

if you have a maytag neptune washer that ran up until now you got your money's worth,that's the machine that put maytag out of business,if it's smoking and ripping the boot it sounds like the tub bearing is gone and you'll have to replace the washer,if it's load in the spin like marbles are rolling around in it that's the problem,but i wouldn't put a cent into that machine.
