SOURCE: washer smells like electrical burning
Peace aminajmay,
ngafm At your service!
Sounds like an electrical fault.
If I were there hands on I could be definite.
Only a hands on laundry tech can make the diagnoses.
BUT, how old is the washer?
If the appliance is 10 years old or more you it may not be advisable to put good money into bad!
New appliances are so much more efficient today that they can save you a lot of money in energy!
Water,Electric and detergent! And put money back in your pocket!
The new appliance will pay for itself in only a few years!
Bless You ngafm
PLEASE GIVE ME A GOOD RATING BEFORE YOU SIGN OFF
Thank You

Hi! Highly unlikely that you need a new motor. Highly likely that you need new carbon brushes. The smell is caused by excessive sparking between the worn brushes and the copper commutator segments. Most carbon brushes (and from memory I suspect this includes Henry's) have a copper wire buried in their last few millimeters, and you really need to change them before that becomes exposed. The longer you run it like this, the more likely you are to damage the commutator, so change them sooner rather than later. When you change the brushes, you can smooth off the commutator with very fine abrasive paper (the objective is to smooth it, not scratch it!), and then blow all the dust away (or **** it away if you have another vac, of course). Incidentally, you don't say if you are using a paper bag in your Henry. Some people, because the top-hat filter is so good, try to manage without a bag. This is false economy! You should always use a bag. I hope this helps! I value feedback, so please remember to rate this response.

We have the same problem, and found out the the electric motor is running very hot. Replacing the motor seam to cure the problem, but the motor is not inexpensive. $200 to $350.

Mine only smell mildewy if I leave them in more than an hour before drying. My old top load washer did the same thing. I dont wash unless I can immediately switch to the dryer.

please state year as i will need to know if tis a common rail or injector pump type of engine ,if it common rail then loose the silly plastic cover on top of the engine as if it is what i suspect then this cover is making engine hot and the coils on the injectors are overheating ,also i think no 4 injector has the sensor on it that times all the others in and this could be the one thats faulty,these injectors are expensive and the lead one is about 500 euros
Hi friend, thank you for your inquiry!
On an Electrolux washer the error code "E00" stands for No code stored. This could be a miscommunication I would recommend you perform a reset on your washer. You can do this by flipping the household breaker for roughly ten minutes. If resetting the power does not correct the issue, could you please inform me of the new error code or if your washer continues to display "E00". I look forward to assisting you. -Matt
