older washer quits running: time for appliance graveyard?

My washer suddenly quit working, it filled with water but wouldn’t advance to wash cycle or do anything else. There was also a little bit of smoke and a burning rubber smell. I checked the belt it is intact. Is it repairable?

Hard to tell without seeing it but it sounds like your transmission has jammed and in that case a new machine is probably in order.

Sounds like you did get a nice life out this machine, so time to move on.
