I'm sorry for the fright and the loss. Hope you and the house are OK. When you turned it over did water run out? Did you get the clothes out OK? |

Sorry you had to deal with that smoky mess and scary incident!
Did you look inside the cabinet? What actually burned in there? |

Oh, that's awful! Glad it didn't end up worse.
Is this a similar model?

Sorry about the mess, you should contact Electrolux for sure as they would at least give you a new washer.
This is why I do not like machines that use a lot of plastic for the frames etc, A lot of LG and SS washers use plastic frames around the bottom and along with a plastic outer tub you can have a real mess when thing go wrong.
Most smaller non US washer and dryers do not even have a steel top and when things go wrong there have been some serious fires.
This is one of the many things I like about my new SQ FL washer is that there is almost no plastic used inside the machine. and it is completely encased in metal including the bottom.
