Unbalanced washing loads can also create lots of movement. For example, squeezing in eight large bath towels and a bed sheet is too much for a 6kg-capacity washing machine – it's bound to vibrate. If your washing machine won't stop vibrating or even moves around the room during a wash, it probably needs levelling out. Every washing machine has to sit level on a flat surface – and if it isn't it will shake, especially during spin cycles. By testing from the control board down to the pump you can make sure that there are no breaks in the cables that would be stopping power from getting to the pump. Once the bottom panel in the front is removed, you get access to the pump filter. Now, put the towel on the floor to filter the location. And remove the water from the emergency hose located close to the coin trap and use a bowl to store the water. The burning smell could be down to a broken drive belt or motor but it's important not to try and attempt to fix the machine yourself unless you're qualified. Instead, call out a professional to diagnose the problem. Filling and draining problems My washing machine won't drain

It's also important to note that just because you cannot feel the heat through the washing machine it doesn't mean the water isn't hot, as most machines are insulated. If the clothes are being effectively cleaned and there's no error code, then the heating is probably fine. Smelly washing machine Why does my washing machine smell?
