    Works ok in as much as it spins, fills up and drains water and doesn’t make any unusual noises.

    But still…. Will I die?

    Probably, maybe don’t leave the house when it’s running….

    Have you run it through a 90 degree wash to clear out the gunge? The door seal can accumulate nasty whiffs too as can the dispenser. The dispenser should come out for easy cleaning.

    Eventually, bit I bet you outlive the washing machine.

    No, haven’t tried that. I just assumed the electrical burn smell meant exactly that, something electrical (motor, brushes) were on the way out.

    But I’ll give the dispenser a clean and try the hot wash too.
