The water pump could be stuck, or broken so the pulley on the pump is not spinning, while the belt is, which gives you the burning smell. Could also mean the motor is overheating giving you the burning smell. You will have to open the back and observe whats happening while its running. Just keep your hands clear while its working.
posibly not melting glue as there not used in making the machine try putting a blech hot water wash cycle a few times in the machine and if the washer is not being used leve the door open to allow the unit to breath and stop using powder wash detergent use liquid wash detergent
There's a number of reasons to smell burning after a washing machine cycle. It's a 220V appliance, so if it short's out it will cause problems. It's more likely the motor being overloaded making it hot and causing the electrical burning smell, or a short that's overheating something electrical. Check to see if the belt that spins the whole barrel is melted or worn anywhere. Inspect the wiring that's attached to the system that engages spin, which is different from agitation by the big tower. If these both check out, an trip to the Maytag Man might have to fix overloading motors or relays, or switches, if anything turns up in your search for the source of the electrical smoke. Ozone is what you are smelling, FYI.
An overheating motor can switch itself off. When it cools it will restart. And overheat again.....If the motor is hot to touch (unplugged, of course) That would verify the problem. Good luck......Nomess
No washing machine drains completely , there is always residual water in the hoses and heater sump
If the machine smells do a couple of hot washes with no clothes in but add a good dose of soda crystals dissolved in hot water.
Pour this mix into the drum before you start the wash
Try going back to old fashioned soap powders for a few washes , these contain some bleach and soda which kill of the fats left inside your machine by the normal 40 & 60 degree washes
