Gregory C for Model Number WBVH6240HWW My GE front load washing machine was in it's final spin cycle this morning. I loud noise came from the unit and I smelled electrical type smoke and shut down the unit. I restarted it with 9 minutes to finish the cycle. It finished it's cycle and I haven't touched it since this morning. Is the motor bad? belt? bearing?
Answer Gregory, Wouldn't expect the motor to be bad, The washer finished the remainder of the cycle. You do need to check the drive belt WH08X10024 to see if there was damage to it or the motor drive pulley, due to an overload, an article getting stuck or something similar to that situation.
