Kenmore top-loading washer, series 80. Burning smell, but still works.
I noticed that during spin (to remove water) if I lift the lid the
spin stops IMMEDIATELY, no coasting to a stop. I'm pretty handy, but
what part to replace? (Thanks in advance, not that I won't thank you

Do you expect your lawn mower blade to coast to
a stop if you release the brake control?

Hi,
Dust build up? How old is it? Wonder if motor has brushes.

Lots of washers have brakes to stop the drum. Maybe it came loose,
rubs, and gets hot while spinning then stops as it should when the lid
is opened?
