What to do if there is a burning smell in the washing machine?
A burning smell coming from the washing machine during or after the spin cycle indicates the possible stuck drain pump in which its pump motor won't turn. With that, it may generate a burning smell.
The drain pump has a pump filter to filter the debris to get through the pump. However, debris can accumulate and may affect the drain pump that could cause a burning smell or bad smell, Check the below Steps to clean the Pump filter
Note:
- Some pump filters feature a safety knob that is designed to prevent accidents by children. To open the safety knob of the pump filter, push in and turn it anticlockwise. The spring mechanism of the safety knob helps open the filter.
- To close the safety knob of the pump filter, turn it clockwise. The spring makes a rattling sound, which is normal.
- If the pump filter is clogged, an information code of “5C” appears on the screen.
Electrical short circuits or electrical overloads can happen due to improper use of the power source like the usage of octopus wiring.
Other appliances connected to the same extension plug or extension wire may cause electrical leakage that can cause an electrical overload that may create a burning smell.
