Fisher paykel washer burning smell - Fisher Paykel Fisher & Paykel Elba 3.7 cu ft Top-Load Washer - White

it could still be the pump (the coil/winding may have a short.
try it out of the washer to see if it spins.. most are just 2 wire AC 220v

Pump Ohms to low will smell like burning enamal
The pump will need replacing,

it could be you have somthing caught in your pump and your belt is sliping that will cause the burning smell take of your pump and check this is the first thing to try please let me know

burning smells are most common from the drain pump remove and sniff it if it smells like its been getting too hot replace it

check out the drain pump as it is linked directly to the main board any burning smell or discolouration of the copper windings replace it

Hi just read your posting.In my experience the only part on a Fisher and Paykel top loader machine that creates a burning smell is the pump.Try looking under the machine and you will see a black fan.This is your pump.Check to see if it has corrosion on it with a torch and try smelling it.I am sure you will find it is the pump that is smelling.Please reply for additional help and tell me how you got on with checking the pump.Looking forward to your reply.

At this stage i can suggest that the inlet valve may be faulty & giving off this burning smell.open the control box & see if one of the 2 inlet valves look distorted or brown or burnt looking.I'm wondering if it's not filling very fast also,this could also be an indication of the valve.

ours did the same thing with the burning smell also. I found that the pump motor kept tripping out from overheating and would not empty the drum thus telling the computer not to spin. I took out the pump and found that the rotor inside the armature had surface rust all around it so i gave it a light sand to clear the rust and whalah...no more tripping out, the pump motor needs to be disassembled to get at the rotor.

sounds like you have two problems, the burning smell is probably the pump,out of balance is usually due to worn aout suspension rods
