Kenmore 90 series
When the machine had completed two loads, a faint smell of “burning” came from the washer. There was no smoke under, on the sides, or behind the machine. Five
minutes into the next load, there was a stronger smell. I checked around the control panel and lifted the top door. There was no hot area or a overwhelming smell that identify
the exact location of the problem. When the machine was in 3-4 minutes of the first spin cycle, the washer shut off. I plugged it into the outlet after a day and a half, and it
worked again. Thank you for your help.
I’ve looked for YouTube or Repair Clinic videos or suggestions, but there is none that I could find.

Hello
Your problem sounds as if the motor is kicking off on the overload. if the motor overheats during the cycle it will trip the overload and after a few minutes it will cool down. easiest way to see if this is your problem is to check for 120 at the harness when the machine does shut off. if getting 120 to motor and not coming on then motor is issue or obstruction in washer causing motor to overheat is also possible.
