Burning smell from washer dryer?

Just bought a new washer dryer and tried it. It's got a really bad smell (like burning rubber or something) which I had to open the window wide. It was the same for the second wash (maybe a bit less smelly but still bad). Is it because it is new or something wrong?Burning smell from washer dryer?

Check the belts


Clean the lint trap


Call a repairman
I would buy from a new store.Sounds to me like a slipping belt
Return it to the dealer and get a new one. Simple yet effective. Never keep an appliance that doesn't work from the start. It will cost you money down the road.
Either it is being broke in, or your belt is slipping creating friction giving you that smell. Sometimes the motor winding can give off a smell from being used for the first time.
