This could be a case of bad bearings and if it is you will need a service company to fix.

Top loader smells like wirers burning and squealing when spin cycle starts

Hey Tara, I understand that your Frigidaire Top Load Washer is squealing and presenting a burning smell. Is this occurring every time you are using the washer or with random loads? Typically, when you experience the squealing and burning smell it indicates that the washer is possibly overloaded. I would recommend that you stop the washer and reduce the load. If the problem persists, please reach out to a professional technician. Hope this helps! -JK

The belt has been ruined. Basically there was to much load on the belt. You will need to replace the belt, maybe a 20 dollar fix and should take no longer then 15 minutes. Just make sure that before you go to the parts house, your remove the old belt and take it with you along with the model and serial number of the machine.

Please rate.
