I was washing a fairly large load when I noticed the machine had stopped. It's a Maytag Atlantis that we bought from a ReUse store and so I'm not sure on its age. Anyway, when I went to check it out I noticed a electrical burn smell and when I unplugged it and plugged it back in, it still wouldn't work. Any ideas?
Check to see if the tub is free to move in at least one direction or the drain pump for blockage from a small item of clothing. It's best to wash small items in a laundry net bag when mixing with large items to prevent one from getting pushed over the top of the inner tub and either blocking the pump or jamming the tub. Hope this helps you.
SOURCE: washing machine spins slowly and smells of burning rubber
The belt could be worn and will be slipping on the pullys, as it spins up the rubber , rubs against the pullys and that is what creats the burning rubber smell, the belt needs replacing.

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.
SOURCE: water will not shut off in washing machine
Check to load size selector switch, sounds like tube came off of it. The tube goes from switch to bottom of tube, tells machine what size load and when to turn off water.
