Washer Keeps Turning Off and On?

My 1998 Kenmore toploader keeps turning on and off in the cycle, every minute or so. It eventually finishes the cycle. I can also smell an odor that I might describe as electronic burnt part? Not sure how to describe it. Could it be a timer issue, because I don't hear the timer clicking when it is in its off cycle? Thanks.

You old washer may be trying to tell you that it is tired and ready to retire. Especially if you smell a possible electrical issue. You can request an appliance repair service check the washer and recommend a repair. Most probably, the repair will be almost as expensive as buying a new washer.

I agree with the previous poster. This is a fairly old washer, and I think you should try to find a repair person. If it is going to be terribly costly, you might be better off getting a new machine.

However, talk to someone who repairs these machines for a living, as sometimes it is a very simple repair job.
