Hi! We have a 9 year old LG front load washer. (WM2487HM) It has been used very lightly, usually only about 1-2 loads per week.
It has started emitting smoke that has a very disgusting smell. The machine does not make any unusual noises, it does not vibrate more than usual, and the drum does not rub against the rubber door gasket. The only difference is the smoke.
Does anyone have any ideas of what it might be? A repairman told me it needs new bearings for a price tag of $650! However, I've read that bad bearings cause the machine to make loud noises, and mine does not. I'd like to get an idea of what the problem is from the members of this forum in order to avoid being ripped off by unscrupulous repairmen.
Many thanks!
