My Maytag Neptune washer, model MAH5500BWW, had a burning smell during/after a wash cycle. I didn't notice until wash was complete. I turned off electric to the laundry and unplugged the machine.

Yes you need a new control board. The fact that the motor and impeller was damaged and loosened. You should try taking your Washer in for maintenance check or call the repair man.
Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.Try 2 cups of white vinegar on a heavy duty cycle with hot water.Pour it in the detergent dispenser after it starts to fill. Also the affresh tablets work good i would use 3 tablets at one time if your unit is as bad as you say.
Thank You and please rate my answer if it was helpful..
the noise you're describing is normal - there is water in a sealed balance ring on the inner tub. To get rid of the mildew and smell, leave door open after cycle and use something like Affresh or "Smelly washer" stuff monthly or more often.
if you have a maytag neptune washer that ran up until now you got your money's worth,that's the machine that put maytag out of business,if it's smoking and ripping the boot it sounds like the tub bearing is gone and you'll have to replace the washer,if it's load in the spin like marbles are rolling around in it that's the problem,but i wouldn't put a cent into that machine.
The link below, provided by www.repairclinic.com shows a similar part that you will need to repair your washer. You will need your model number to order the precise part number.
Central bearing and seal are damaged. Very expensive repair and very expensive parts. Maytag does not sell bearings separately, they're only available with the outer tub, which is $400-$500; Repair itself is another 2-3 hours of hard work. Do the math...
Contacted a local repair shop. They told me that if I got it spinning again, the motor was most likely ok. It is protected by a thermal switch that turns it off when it begins to overheat. The smell was to be expected as it was overheating; the difficutly restarting was because it hadn't cooled off enough yet. We have now used it a few times for small loads. Still getting a smell, but the wash cycle is completing ok.
