well something is definetly putting a load on the motor you will have to eliminate the possibilities 1 by 1 start with the belt off and run motor with no load on it if that checks then move the tranny pully by hand in both directions also turn the pumppully by hand for any stress load. It may be the tranny causing the motor to overload

does it smoke with the belt off? set timer in spin and run it without belt does it smoke then? What I mean is; in order to locate the problem its a process of elimination you find out what it isn't and that will lead you to what it is; For instance ok if the motor runs fine without the belt then that leaves you only a few more possibilities, the pump, the tranny the thrust bearing, or something has gotten inbetween the inner and out tub and it's dragging down the motor it could be the brake isn't fully releasing but these thoings you have to eliminate out of the process of finding whats causing it

also sometimes motors have a coating on the windings that will emit an odor but not smoke put an amp probe and determine how much currant draw there is on the motor, there is a rating plate that will tell you what the max load is generally it's around 8 or so amps like when it starts then the amperage will drop to around 4-5 or so give or take

This is the same thing that is happening to my MayTag washer.
The old motor burned up and now the new motor is smelling and smoking
even though there is nothing hooked to the motor for driving anything.
The motor switch is new also.

You have to check the current drawn by the motor as recommended by [COLOR="Red"]V2k04[/COLOR] in his last reply. In addition, check the voltage (better at the washer terminal block - where the power cord is connected to the washer) while the motor is "on". Post the results.
Gene.
