Washer-dryer emits a burning smell during operation.

Safety first: Immediately stop the cycle, unplug the unit, and do not continue using it until the cause is found.

• Inspect belt and pulleys: Remove the rear panel and check for a melted or frayed belt. Replace the belt and clean any rubber residue from pulleys.
• Check for drum obstructions: Spin the drum by hand and listen for scraping. Remove any foreign objects caught in the door boot or drum holes.
• Inspect motor: Smell near the motor area for burnt odor. If the motor is extremely hot or shows signs of burning, it may need replacement.
• Check wiring and heater: Look for burnt wires, especially near the heater and control board. Repair or replace any damaged wiring and components.
• Do not ignore: A persistent burning smell is a fire risk; if you cannot locate and correct the issue, contact a professional technician.
