I have a GE Laundry Center (Washer/Dryer Combo). Everything works ok except that there is burnt motor like smell while and after the washer spins.

First off, I can't figure how to take it apart! The appliance is in a closet, so it is difficult to remove. Does the cover come off of the from of the washer?

I don't have the service manual, so I don't want to remove it from the closet unless I have to.

Thanks-
