Help!  Right towards the end of my cycle my washer made a loud bang sound. When I opened the door (front loader) some smoke rolled out of my washer along with a horrible smell.  I have a Samsung WF338/WF339 front loader.  Any ideas as to what may have occurred?

Thank you

You may want to pull the plug out of the outlet and turn you water off that is connected to the machine. You don't need a bigger issue. Call Samsung customer support or the vendor you bought it from for further advice as to what happened with your machine.
