It smells like something is burning and a there is screeching sound with it. If it is just the belt, how do I fix it?I was doing wash and it started making noises and smelled a burning. Is it the belt or the motor?
Sounds like a belt, but it's only 1/2 of the problem. Picture an electric motor with a belt pulley on it (drive pulley). It spins the belt, which in turn spins another pulley (driven pulley). If the driven pulley abruptly stops (seizes), the motor will still spin the belt across it causing the screeching noise, and burning smell. The belt may need replacing, but your main problem is the seized pulley. Get a qualified repair tech out there. They are well worth the price given that it will cause you endless frustration.
