Estate Washer has a burning smell

When your Estate washer has a burning smell, stop the cycle, unplug the machine, and inspect the source before using it again. The most likely cause is a failed rotor and stator kit. In this direct-drive motor, wet stator coils or shorted coated wires can overheat and produce a washer burning smell or washer smells like burning rubber. Next, inspect the main control board, motor control board, and control board for surge damage, failed components, or visible burn marks. Any board that is scorched or smells burnt should be replaced. A worn water pump belt can slip on the pulleys, especially if the motor pulley is damaged or the pump does not turn freely. A worn, frayed, or slipping drive belt can also create friction and a washing machine burning smell. Check the pump, idler pulley, and other belt-driven parts for binding before installing a new belt. Enter your Estate washer's model number to find the exact replacement rotor and stator kit, control board, water pump belt, drive belt, or other part that fits your specific washing machine.

01 - Estate Washing Machine Rotor and Stator Kit

The stator is part of a direct drive motor that electrically drives the outer rotor. If the stator coils become wet or the coated wires on the coils short out, they can produce a burning smell. You can test the stator coils with a meter. If the stator is smoking, or smells burnt, it will need to be replaced.
