common fault.where the stainless steel inner drum meets the edge of the grey door gasket they rub together creating the burning smell,.Take a look at the stainless drum edge you will find rubber stuck to it and a groove worn into the back side of the door gasket.there is a redesigned door gasket available but once it wears in to the old door gasket it will be ok.clean the rubber of the stainless drum using a wooden peg or something that cannot scratch or mark the drum.Just check now and then for further rubbing.Probably be ok from now on as the machine is now bedded in.
