today I had a burning smell coming from my washer, it was like a electrical smell I looked at as many wires as I could see no signs of a burnt wire, I did notice i have oil dripping so I don’t know if it is the oil,wire,motor,timer problem I assume the oil is coming from the transmission, so is this time to buy a new maytag or is it fixable?
Oil dripping is usually a bad seal, and while it can be fixed, given the need for special tools and the difficulty of a repair I suggest replacement will make you much happier.
