The burning rubber smell was coming from my drive belt... it had a few cracks in it. I replaced it and its working great with no smell!!! Thank you!!

Good video. Precise and quick. Missing one common possibility: Worn bearings causing rubber seal to rub, heat, and burn.

At 2:38 … it eventually stops turning if rotate it a few rotations clockwise. Is this okay or does it mean the transmission is seized up / broken?

Thank you sir

i have siemens wash&dry d12-52 and the rubber burning smell comes when drum spin for drying, i closly looked in and the rubber part from the front loading door is rubbing with inner metal drum when spins, i cant find what that part call, and i cannot have access to that website appliancepartspros because i live in middle east

That moustache though!

I have a weird scenario that I cannot figure out. I had just replaced the motor coupler that connects my motor to the transmission. I reinstalled the motor rotating it FREELY by hand to align it to the coupler. I ran the washer and smelled something burning. I found the motor very warm and after I removed it to check it out, discovered that I cannot rotate it freely anymore. My starting capacitor reads correctly on a tester (201µF). Any ideas?

My washing machine started making noises like the drum was loose. Today I got a squeaking sound and then the last few minutes of the wash let off a burning rubber smell. I need to do another wash, do you recommend this? I am booking it in for a repair, but today I need to do another wash. Please advise, thank you.

Brooo ! Good Intell

My Whirlpool lid switch is melted and hot and smells burnt? Why? HELP !!

Is it possible that detergent and bleach fumes from the washer is not being filtrated outside? I am having problems with my skin burning that reaches every level of the house. Is there something wrong with our washer? My skin cools down only after I wash the area. Please help, I am miserable. The doctors say it’s something in my house.

Could brake problem cause motor to run hot on direct drive Whirlpool built washer. Pump and coupler check good. Could spin tube cause the overheating of three different motors?

What if there is burning smell but I don't hear the motor? Does that eliminate the belt and point towards the capacitor or motor?

In side burning

Stud mustache lol.

Your feet are spread too far apart at the beginning 😂

What probably the cause if I checked and there's dirt or ashes-like at the bottom of my machine? I don't see any sparks and smoke but it smells. Thanks
