The washing machine smells burnt during spin
A burning smell coming from your washing machine is a cause for concern. It indicates a fault in the machine that could put your home at risk of a fire. You need to act decisively to prevent the possibility of a more serious problem with your washing machine and to ensure the safety of your home.
First, DON'T PANIC. Next, you need to look for the likely cause of the problem. And there can be several reasons for smoke or odor from your washing machine.
-One of them is a problem of loose connections. The reason for the appearance of smoke can be quite trivial. In case the washing machine has smoke from the outside, then probably the problem is loose wires or a burnt locking mechanism (lock), also a problem with the filter capacitor which is on the input power supply.
machine cable. And the last place is a problem with the drum.
If the smoke from the appliance is external, turn off the power to the appliance at the plug, if you do not have access to it, turn it off at the fuse. And look where it is coming from or call a technician.
-However, if the smell is inside the drum itself and you smell burnt smoke when you open the door, then the problem is in the drum. In case it clogs the appliance during the spin cycle, the washing machine has broken the drum or has bitten the edge of the rubber sleeve. This is a common complaint from customers about such a problem. When the appliance is overloaded with clothes and when the spin cycle comes, the washing machine speeds up to maximum speed. When the washing machine is fully loaded, the drum carrier (the cross) that fixes the metal basket in which we place the clothes. Then follows an action in which the metal basket begins to have no exact center of rotation and touches the rubber seal with revolutions over 1000, which causes a burnt smell. Even if this is the damage, DO NOT be afraid, you will not catch fire, just disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Take off your clothes that will have absorbed the smell of a burnt gasket (sleeve) and spread them out somewhere. You can run the appliance on an empty cycle an hour later to see if the problem repeats. If you suspect a loose drum part, immediately take action to buy a new appliance. Even if you call a technician, they will charge you a fee for coming and will not fix it with 1 visit because parts such as a washing machine drum are ordered and waiting for delivery. Therefore, tell the technician about your problem before he comes and charges you and shares this information that is here. Among the other reasons, worn brushes on the washing machine can be mentioned, but this is only 3% of the appliances and provided that the appliance has a brush motor (collector).
