Washer was clogged inside hoses and pump so I cleaned it all out and now that it can spin with clear hoses... it starts smoking inside the washer. No smoke was behind the washer inside the panel.
Samsung VRT washer: wf337aal/xaa Smoke was only inside the washer and I'm no sure what part could be bad,. The pump? Smelled like electrical not so much rubber. I bought this on offer up yesterday and it was full of rocks. I'm wondering if I need a new pump possibly or if the rubber around the washer or however its set up is messed up due to idiots putting rocks in it. The reason I knew something was wrong was because it gave me "ND error" which means no drain.

A washing machine won't spin if the water can't drain. Check hoses for any kinks or clogs that may prevent the water from draining. If a hose has kinks, try to straighten out the kinked hose. If it can't be straighten sufficiently, replace the hose. If hoses are not kinked, check for clogged hoses. This can be done by using the screwdrivers to remove the hoses and looking for clogs or running a water hose through the clogged hose to remove the clog. Use the rags and bucket to clean up the water that comes out of the hoses when they are disconnected. Once the clog is cleared, put the drain hose back into place. The washer should drain and spin now if a clogged or kinked hose was the problem. 2)
If the washer still won't drain or spin, check to see if the lid is not closing all the way or if the lid switch is not clicking into place. Close the lid and make sure that it closes all the way down. When the lid closes, the lid switch should click. If there is no clicking sound, then the switch may need to be replaced. Follow manufacturer's directions for replacing the switch. If the lid does not close all the way, visually check for signs that the lid is bent. If bent, try to bend it back into place. 3)
Loose or broken belts could also prevent a washing machine from draining or spinning. Pull the washer away from the wall and, using the screwdrivers and wrenches, remove the back panel. Using the flashlight, visually check for any broken or loose belts. Replace any broken or loose belts. Although replacing washing machine belts is difficult, anyone who has replaced belts on a car, lawn mower or even a bicycle chain should be able to accomplish the task. 4)
Another possibility for a washing machine to not spin or drain is the pump. With the back panel still off the washer, check the pump with the voltmeter to ensure that the pump is getting power. If the washer is getting power, turn on the washer and listen to find out if the pump is running but the water is still not draining. It may be necessary to remove the pump and clean it or to replace the pump with a new one. Once the pump is replaced, turn on the washer to determine if it will now drain and spin. 5)
If all of the above steps fail to produce a washing machine that drains or spins, then it is time to call a professional repairman. Use the screwdrivers and wrenches to replace the panel on the washer and push it back against the wall.
There are several reasons that a washing machine won't drain or spin. The cause could be something as easy as a clog or something difficult that will need a licensed repairman. Start with the simplest possible cause and work down to the more difficult causes.

Hi, a Kenmore washer that is not filling with water may have clogged inlet screens. Place a bucket underneath the hoses to catch any leftover water. Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply. Remove the water hoses from the back of the washer and inspect the screens inside the inlet ports. Often, these clog with sediment. Clean the screens with a small toothbrush. After cleaning, reattach the hoses and turn the water supply and power back on.
Another reason the washer might not fill is something interfering with the water pump. Check the connecting hoses on the water pump to make sure they are not clogged. With the hoses disconnected, check the water pump for obstructions.
There are several reasons why a washing machine won't drain or spin.
The cause could be something as easy as a clog or something difficult
that will need a licensed repairman. Start with the simplest possible
cause and work down to the more difficult causes.
Find some possible cause and how to solve the problem:
A
washing machine won't spin if the water can't drain. Check hoses for
any kinks or clogs that may prevent the water from draining. If a hose
has kinks, try to straighten out the kinked hose. If it can't be
straighten sufficiently, replace the hose. If hoses are not kinked,
check for clogged hoses. This can be done by using the screwdrivers to
remove the hoses and looking for clogs or running a water hose through
the clogged hose to remove the clog. Use the rags and bucket to clean
up the water that comes out of the hoses when they are disconnected.
Once the clog is cleared, put the drain hose back into place. The
washer should drain and spin now if a clogged or kinked hose was the
problem.
If the washer still won't drain or spin, check to
see if the lid is not closing all the way or if the lid switch is not
clicking into place. Close the lid and make sure that it closes all the
way down. When the lid closes, the lid switch should click. If there is
no clicking sound, then the switch may need to be replaced. Follow
manufacturer's directions for replacing the switch. If the lid does not
close all the way, visually check for signs that the lid is bent. If
bent, try to bend it back into place.
Loose or broken belts
could also prevent a washing machine from draining or spinning. Pull
the washer away from the wall and, using the screwdrivers and wrenches,
remove the back panel. Using the flashlight, visually check for any
broken or loose belts. Replace any broken or loose belts. Although
replacing washing machine belts is difficult, anyone who has replaced
belts on a car, lawn mower or even a bicycle chain should be able to
accomplish the task.
