Did you check to see if the hot and cold are hooked up backwards? Try switching them.

Why don't you simply find out what the FE code is alluding to? Go to web site or do a google search and then you can check for the issue further.

My guess would be the bearing going bad. Big job to replace but not impossible. If washer is old, I'd buy a new one instead.

I used to have the same problem. You should try to lower the amount of cloth in your washing machine. :) hope this will help.

Open the little trap door on bottom front of unit. Unscrew lint filter trap. Drain water first with small tube.

The problem would appear to be the water inlet solenoid valve. The valve is not operating correctly for some reason allowing water into the machine even when switched off

If you are sure the unit is receiving power you can check for proper operation the door switch on unit which will kill power to unit if it is open. If it is ok, using a voltmeter you will need to trace the voltage at the control switch, etc.

Take top of washer off-2 screws in back, slide rearward two inches and lift up. Check the hoses on top of drum.

Take tray back out. Take all the components apart and clean all the tubes. Capillary action will not work with residue left on the parts.

Take top off, take control panel off, take front off. Now you can get to pump. Check videos from repairclinic.com, appliancepartspros.com or YouTube.com for how to. Not that hard. Just many steps.

it is a drain hose so there is no need for a filter the water to drain will be dirty so there is no point in filtering dirty water destined too go down the drain

Try new water valve first. See if that does it. Water pressure could force door open.

If the breaker tripped, something shorted to ground in your control panel. You resetting the breaker and pushing the power button then cause something to burn further. I would suggest turning off the breaker then taking the control panel off to see where the "burning smell and small amount of smoke" came from. Look to see if a wire was rubbing against metal somewhere.
