Obviously there’s a wire or control board component burnt. You or a competent service tech will have to find it.

SOURCE: Bad smell in our washing machine LG Front Loader WD-8074

Hi,
You don't have to drain all the water out after each use, you just need to clean things up a bit.

There is a problem with the design, in that the drawer area is a breeding ground for mould.

There will be a latch on the drawer you need to press to remove it - take it out and wash it in a hot solution of borax. Alternatively bleach it, and then wash in hot detergent.
Use a spray cleaner designed to kill mould and mildew, and use it with a brush inside the drawer apature to remove all mould build up. It's quite a grotty job - but needs doing.
After that, use a cloth to clean as far back into the pipe as you can.

Do two washes on hot with bleach, then a rinse, and it's good to go.

It is most important you leave the drawer open after a wash, and the door open more than 2" on these machines to prevent it, and a hot wash occasionally for whites. Tell the manufacturer that you won't be buying their brand again.

SOURCE: mildew smell in front loader

Yup! I have the same issue with a WE206BNW (Canadian model). Did the same thing - dried the water off the door and leave the door open when not using it. Sort of helped, but then I ran an empty light load with bleach through it - no clothes, just water. Helped a lot.

SOURCE: Front Loading LG Washing Machine leaves smelly sludge in wash tub

This machine has a tub clean feature that you're supposed to run with bleach. I did this and it helped the smell s bit. Recently we had an error code and the repair man that came to fix it gave me some good tips. His experience has been that the smell is from too much soap causing build up in the seal and along the tub. His suggestion was to cut back on the amount of he detergent (he said a tablespoon is sufficient). His company recommends using a product called Whirlout (you can buy it at Home Depot). It was originally meant to clean scum out of hot tub jets. Apparently if you call LG they will recommend this product, but haven't bothered to suggest it in the owner's manual. I was told to put one to two capfuls directly into the tub (not the detergent bay) and run the tub clean cycle. I used it last night and it worked - no more musty, yucky smell!

My LG washer stopped mid-load at spin cycle, how can I fix this?

It sounds like a serious fault if there is no power the fuse has gone or some item has burnt out . You will have to arrange for a service engineer to look at it more closely.

Washer stopped mid cycle and now it will not even turn on. I can also smell a burnt odour. Is my motor shot?

Yes, the motor has definitely burnt out causing an overload protection to switch off the electrical supply inside the machine.

Lg from front loading washer has horrible smell

Hi- If it smells like mold then it is most likely the Tub Boot (bellows). This is the large rubber gasket that goes around the front of the washer basket. This is a huge issue with front loaders and there is really no solid remedy. You can run your hand inside the folds and see if there is a bunch of refuse in there that is stinking. Usually one will see black mold all over the rubber. A diluted bleach solution can help a bit, just be careful not to pierce the gasket or you will have a flood when the washer runs. Really the best remedy it to replace the rubber but this is often not a cheap part and often takes at least an hour for the tech to do. If the smell is more of an electrical smell (burnt rubber, plastic) then I'd get someone out to look at it. The motor or one of the electrical controllers may be shorted out. If this is the case I wouldn't use it until you determine the cause.

Towels smell burnt after washing.

Are you sure the burnt smell is coming from the washer and not from the dryer? If you've placed a rubber backed rug or other similar article of clothing, it is not uncommon for that rubber backing to melt and get embedded in the heated duct of the dryer . Not sure this helps but if you can clarify the point at which the burnt smell is first observed that would help..
Thanks
