SOURCE: Maytag Legacy top load washer is SMOKING!
this is a bogus website that is trying to push smelly washer product....no real fixes and there are other products out there for less just use bleach first
SOURCE: burning rubber smell
Even though manufacturers' love to advertise it, I personally would not load "too many items", as it may cause excessive normal ware and tear on your machine parts, motor, belt, etc.
Yes; the smell can be the belt and possibly your motor as well. The motor may be spinning, but the weight may be too much when the belt is engaging to rotate the drum. I would be careful not to burn the motor (About $120 - part only)
You should be able to access and inspect the drive-belt in the rear of the machine by removing an access panel (back of washer).
To replace the belt if fairly simple. Remove and re-install by wedging a long screw driver in between the belt and metal pulley (circular), while simultaneously rotating the pulley.
You may be required to make a belt repair if you start to have problems with your "washer not spinning" or "making a noise/not spinning"
SOURCE: Maytag Nepture washer Model MAH 5500 boot mildew
The new boot replacements are anti-microbial have a smoother surface and are designed to be more resistant to mold issues with proper care. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of the old boot replacements out there. The part number for the upgraded boot is 12002533..., This part number supercedes all prior part numbers for the Neptune boot assy...Hope this helps
