Our maytag washer makes noise and a smell when in use. Is it the belts that need to be replaced??? If so how do we replace the belt or belts???

Remove the front panel by unscrewing the screw on each side on the bottom of the panel. Lift the washer from the front and check the belts.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG A712 | AppliancePartsPros.com

You are absolutely right. I've seen them almost 30 years old with the very first minor problem like a broken hose.
