Todd In Iowa for Model Number lsq9564jq0 whirlpool ultimate care 2 Timer looked like it had gone through full cycle. Had stopped before rinse with water in the tub. Seemed to finish cycle when I switched to perm press cycle. There was a stinky burned plastic/electronics. smell.

Answer Hello Todd, You will need to open the unit to determine the component that has caused the burning odor. You will need to also check the motor and the motor capacitor since these can be one of the causes or, if there is something binding the motor such as an item in the pump or an item between the tubs, the motor may have overheated which would shut the unit down by tripping the motors' overload.
