We smelled burning rubber the last few times we used our washer. Now the agitator spins wildly (out of control) while the drum starts to move, but then both shut down. It seems the machine is trying to start the drain/spin cycle, but can’t. It attempts to start the cycle, but the sequence described above repeats and the machine eventually shuts down. Having repaired this machine a few times in the past, I inspected the belt, which shows no visible signs of damage. With the belt attached, I turned the splutch wheel and I noticed what I would describe as a slip inside the motor.
Please help me figure out what I need to fix this.
Thank you in advance for your help!

During the last load of wash the machine became off balance during the spin cycle. Not sure if it finished cycle before quitting but it appears that It was very close to finishing or did finish the cycle. Was able to empty the items in washer into the dryer as normal. Now the washing machine will not start in any cycle and yes there is power to the plug. I believe there is an off-balance safety mechanism tied in with the lid switch but not positive. Hoping possibly just a fuse or something. I cannot find YouTube help for my particular model but a similar model mentions raising the lid until you hear a loud click. I’ve done that, no click. I tried to raise top off washer so I can get to the lid switch. Again not exactly the same model as in YouTube help but I can’t get the top of washer to come up so I can get to switch. I couldn’t find anything at appliancevideos.com for this particular model. Can you direct me to somewhere where I can get help? Hard to even find an appliance repair person around my area. Would like to think I could do this myself. In search of any other troubleshooting thoughts you may have. Thanks, Tim

This unit is just over a year old. The unit usually wont start unless after messing with setting or cycles. We have cleaned out the dryer vent, and cleaned the unit out for all lint. What could cause a unit to intermittently not start?

After a wash or rinse cycle the drain hose will squirt water for a few seconds and the system then stops.
I can manually drain the washer and if I hit the timer spot right after a timer rotation the next segment will run until it hits the drain phase. If I manually drain the rinse cycle the spin cycle will complete normally, including draining its water. The drain hoses seem clear, and if I lower the washer’s drain hose to the floor I get a dramatic fountain of water.
I confirmed everything underneath turns freely. Replaced the belts on principal because they were 22 years old. Ohm checked the lid switch and it seems fine. Replaced the lid switch because it is so universally damned and no so expensive. The new one ohms out fine. Response to opening and closing the lid while running is fine.
Using my meter on the pressure switch it correctly identifies full and empty. Reads full after the drain cycle aborts.
The motor does not feel particularly warm.
Dryer is level.
When running generally sounds very smooth.
What else do I need to check/tell you?

When you try to run a wash cycle and push start you can hear relays clicking but nothing happens. We have the tech sheet but when you try to run the quick diagnostic test it will not advance past c00.

I’m wondering how the refrigerator compartment defrosts. The freezer has a heating element on the evaporator but I don’t see one on the fridge evaporator. The fridge evaporator is totally blocked with ice.
