Crosley Washer has a burning smell

When your Crosley washer has a burning smell, stop the cycle, unplug the machine, and inspect it before using it again. The most likely cause is a failing rotor and stator kit. Wet stator coils or shorted wires can overheat and produce a washer burning smell, especially during agitation or spin. Next, check the main control board for burn marks caused by a power surge or failed component. A damaged motor control board can also short out and create a washing machine burning smell, followed by the control board, which supplies power to the washer's components. If the boards and stator look normal, inspect the water pump belt and drive belt. A worn, frayed, or slipping belt can create friction and a washer smells like burning rubber odor. Make sure the water pump, motor pulley, and idler pulley turn freely, since a seized component can overheat the belt. Do not operate the washer if you see smoke, melted wiring, or scorched parts. Enter your Crosley washer model number to find the exact replacement rotor and stator kit, control board, motor control board, water pump belt, or drive belt for your specific machine.

01 - Crosley 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.

02 - Crosley Washing Machine Main Control Board

The main control board provides power to the various components of the washer. If the control board receives a power surge, or a component fails, the control board can short-out causing a burning smell. Inspect the control board for burn marks. A burnt main control board will need to be replaced.
