Inglis Washer has a burning smell

If your Inglis washer has a burning smell, stop using it, unplug the machine, and inspect the drive system and electrical components before running another cycle. The most likely cause is a failed rotor and stator kit. The stator coils can become wet or short out, producing a washer burning smell, smoke, or a burnt odor. Next, check the main control board, motor control board, and control board for power-surge damage, failed components, or visible burn marks. A damaged board can cause a washing machine burning smell even when the washer still has power. If the electrical parts look normal, inspect the water pump belt and drive belt. A worn, frayed, or slipping belt can create friction and smell like burning rubber, especially if the water pump or idler pulley is seized or difficult to turn. Test the stator coils with a meter when appropriate, and replace any smoking, burnt, or damaged part. Enter your Inglis washer's 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
