Bad spin clutch or coupling between motor and transmission. Look for you tube videos.

spray motor and gear housing surrounding with insecticide, roaches may be nesting there that gives out the foul odor

Start with the capacitor. It has a funny smell when they go bad. The motor will smell bad as well when it burns up.

Sounds like a failure in the gear case but the burning smell makes me wonder if you have a problem with the motor. You will need a appliance tech to verify

if it smells electrical then it is the motor and just because you replaced it months a go that dont meen anything i have seen them come off the shelf and be bad not saying ddty that this is your issue but it sounds like it a bad solinoid chances are very slim I would look towards the motor to find out when machine quits lean machine back on the wall so it dont fall on you and put your hand on the motor if it is hot then it is over heating and needs to be changedplease let me know what you guys find and if i can help you in any way

Whirlpool now has cleaning tablets to take the smell out washers. They say they are for HE front load machine but it works on all machines. They are called affresh washer tablets. Just buy some and put all three tablets in the tub with hot water and let the washer go through a cycle with just the tablet(no clothes). By putting all three in the washer at one time it will kill the smell. For later use the package is a three month supply. They cost under 10 dollars.

Sounds like the clutch is slipping but sometime catching. Or maybe the transmission is almost gone. Is there a burning smell? If so, probably clutch.

burnt belt, tight center tub bearing, motor going bad, loose idler pulley spring, wiring issues at the motor, a lot of could bees

There are a lot of reasons could cause it. Best thing will be to open machine's service panel and to find out from where does this smell comes. Let us know with your results and we will see how could we help you.
