Washer emits a burning smell or electrical odor during operation

Safety first: Immediately stop the washer, unplug it, and do not continue using it until the source is identified.

• 1. Check drum for obstructions: Look inside the drum and around the door gasket for trapped items that could rub and burn.
• 2. Inspect wiring: Remove rear and top panels. Look for burnt connectors or melted insulation near the motor, inverter board, and heater.
• 3. Smell test: Carefully smell near the motor and control boards (with power disconnected) to localize the odor source.
• 4. Do not bypass safety: If any component shows signs of overheating, it must be replaced before further use. Contact a qualified technician for diagnosis and replacement of the affected part.
