Pam for Model Number GE WBVH5200J3WW My GE front load machine is about 9 yrs. old. During the spinning cycle it started making a loud knocking noise went in to check on it and the laundry room was full of smoke. I turned off the washer and unplugged it. When I opened the door smoke came from inside the washer also had some rubber inside of it. Any idea what it could be??
Answer Pam, Based on the symptoms the issue will most likely be a broken spider on the inner drum that is allowing the banging noise and the front inner tub will rub on the outer tub causing the rubbery plastic inside the drum. For this issue you would need the basket assembly WH45X10142 and then check the front of the tub to make sure that the tub is not worn through where it could cause leaking. Read More...
