When a Burning Smell Means Stop Immediately

A persistent burning smell during normal use is a reason to stop the appliance. It is not a symptom to push through with one more cycle.

Keep people away from the unit. Isolate power only if you can do that without touching smoke, water, or a damaged cord. A brief first-use odor on some new appliances is described in the manual; a smell that grows or smells electrical is not that case.

Do not search inside the cabinet while it is powered. Request help through contact and describe the appliance and the smell. If you see smoke, treat it as an emergency if needed.
