Frub,
OK then, it's probably not a lid switch problem.
Is there any noise(motor hum,etc.). Does the washer drain ? Where did the odor seem to be coming from ?
Your washer, has a wrap around cabinet, you really can't access anything without removing the cabinet.
I think this will help:
Servicing Components in the Console
1. Remove
the two Phillips-head screws securing the front corners of the console to the washer top.
(the screws can be located on the backside of the endcaps, under the end caps, or the front corner of the console) being a newer unit, you may have spring loaded clips holding the end caps to the top as well(you may need to use a putty knife to compress the clip).
2. Tip the console back on the hinges that secure the top of the console to the washer back.
Removing the Timer
There are two types of timers. One can be identified by a plastic body. The other has a metal body.
Plastic Body
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE TIMER KNOB BY PULLING FROM
THE FRONT. Doing so will damage the split shaft and require replacing the
entire timer assembly.
1. To remove the timer knob, push the knob in from the front.
2. At the back of the timer, pull the black tab out approximately 3/16", then pull the timer knob off the shaft.
3. Slide the timer dial from the timer hub.
4. Unplug the wiring harness connector from the timer assembly terminals.
5. Remove the one (1) Hex-head screw securing the left side of the timer assembly to the console mounting plate. Then lift the left side and slide the tabs at the right side of the timer assembly from the console mounting plate.
ACCESSING COMPONENTS INSIDE THE WASHER CABINET
Components inside the washer cabinet can be accessed by completely removing the outer cabinet as one unit.
1. Remove the console mounting screws and tilt the console into the service position.
2. Unplug the lid switch harness connector from the receptacle in the washer top.
3. Remove the cabinet mounting clips by placing the flat blade of a screwdriver in the clip
4. Remove the cabinet by tilting it forward and pulling it away from the washer.
5. The rear panel can be tilted back for additional access to components at rear of machine by twisting the rear panel support 90°. and then tilting the rear panel back.
Once you have the console up, you can check the timer and wiring for damage or loose connections.
And when the cabinet's removed we can check for a pump or motor problem.
