I have a Samsung VRT washer. It stopped in the middle of a spin cycle and there was a burning smell. The internet says this could be as simple as needing a new belt. The appliance repair place I called told me that it could also be something more serious and I should just junk it and buy a new washer (it is likely 20 years old). However, I would hate to just dump it without trying to fix it, if the fix is as simple as replacing the belt. Do any handymen or handywomen out there know how to replace a belt in a washer and willing to do so? If it’s something more serious, OK, I can junk the washer. But if it’s just the belt, what a waste that would be! Repairing it would be so much more sustainable. Thank you.
