[LG washing machine odor] It hasn't been long since I bought it, but there is a smell of something burning.

Troubleshooting

If it hasn't been long since you bought the product, there may be a smell caused by the chemical agents (insulation) in the new motor or the heat of the motor during operation, but the smell will gradually disappear after 1-3 months of use, so please use it with an easy mind.
A chemical agent (enamel) is applied to prevent the motor from becoming electrified, so there may be such a smell initially.
When you use the product over a period of time (1-3 months), it will completely dry out and the smell will disappear naturally, so you do not need to worry about it.
