Burning smell, then quit. 4 yrs old. - Philips Magnavox 27MS343S 27" TV

change belt or clean belt area

the heating coils in these dryers sag over time & if they're touching this could be what you're smelling

get it looked at

do you have pets ie a dog that moults, as quite often its is foung that pet hairs get inside on the elements and cause a burning smell. if so disconnect from supply. Remove back cover by removing screws and hoover the elements. Make sure electric is off hope this info is useful.

The burning you smell is probably the belt slipping. There is a belt which is attached to pulleys. The belt engages to spin the basin in the washer. When this belt slips the burning smell happens because the pulleys are spinning and the belt isn't. You will probably need to adjust the tension on the pulleys or get a new belt. This can happen from constantly overloading the washer or trying to get the washer to wash and extra large load while the water level is set at a smaller load.

If this is a problem that comes and goes - I had a somewhat similar situation where electric wouldn't work and car wouldn't start. There was "burning and arching" in the fuse box - they had to replace it and then it was fine.

i would check the door switch behind the dryer door and the main fuse behind the back panel,you can also use a piece wire wire to jump the start switch to check that -mike

Start with the capacitor. It has a funny smell when they go bad. The motor will smell bad as well when it burns up.

did you recently screw or nail something to the wall?do you have the old fabric coated wires?

8 yrs old....The LATs were the best models for Maytag...Maybe it's time to replace the belt..Slipping belts smell bad.

there is a defrost heater inside the freezer section, remove the back paanel from inside the freezer. lookin at the evaporator the u-shaped black heate wraps around under it, there are some peices of styrafoam( used for air flow) surrondin evap area, make sure none are hitting against heater assy
