Today I was using my Smeg washing machine when I heard a funny noise from the drums and then saw smoke.
I turned the machine off and had little idea to begin with as to what had gone wrong. I checked various parts and discovered what looks like the drum seal has ripped off inside when I was using a heavy load.
I let the machine cool down and then tried it again and it seems to be fine. I take it the part is to stop a water leak. How critical is it? Is it something I could replace and fix as a novice amateur?
