My frigidaire washer stops mid cycle when washing heavy things. Also smells like something is burning.

SOURCE: Frigidaire Washer Model FWT647GHSO

I had the same problem with my FWT647GHSO front loader shaking, the bearings in the outer rear drum were gone, I repair machinery for a living not appliances ( except my own ) and the job took me close to 4 hours to complete, it is working well now but I did notice some hairline cracking on the yoke that holds the inner basket so I guess it's time to start saving my pennies for a new one :( too bad the inner drum is ~$200.00 or I would endure the 4 hours labor again to replace that as well. Best of luck

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.

Could be one of three issues, timer, capacitor, or the most like canidate the motor assm. Usually 90% of the time, its that motor. Those motors are pretty expensive (part number 389248) and you need to replace motor coupler (part number 285753A) when you change it.

Open lid as you would load clothes and hold the inner drum with all the holes in it. Give it a manual turn left, then right. If it spins in both ways the main bearing is gone. This is not a DIY because the new bearing has to be pressed on at a machine shop, or an appliance repair shop.
