Haier Washer has a burning smell

If your Haier washer has a burning smell, unplug it and stop using it until you identify the source. A washer burning smell is most likely caused by a faulty rotor and stator kit. Wet or shorted stator coils can overheat and produce a washing machine burning smell, so inspect the stator for smoke or burnt insulation and test the coils with a meter. Next, check the main control board, motor control board, and control board for burn marks caused by a failed component or power surge. A worn water pump belt can slip on the motor pulley, while a frayed drive belt can create friction and smell like burning rubber. Check both belts and make sure the water pump, motor pulley, and idler pulley turn freely, since a seized component can make a belt overheat. These checks apply whether your Haier washing machine smells burning during a cycle or the washer smells like burning after operation. Enter your 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 washing machine.

01 - Haier 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 - Haier 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.
