I would try on-line for a "renovation supply store". They have a bunch of old looking stuff.

Your KitchenAid is a Whirlpool direct-drive machine. The design was produced from early 1980s until approx 2010 under brand names Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis ... and Maytag, Admiral, and Amana after 2006 (when Whirlpool bought Maytag). Also Crosley at some point. The motor can be put under excess load if the coupler isn't installed correctly (each half of the coupler must be pressed on flush with the end of the motor shaft and transmission shaft). I suppose there's a possibility your servicer didn't do it quite right. Other than that, examination of the machine would be necessary to determine what may be the cause of the burning odor. Could be there's a loose connection on a wire to the motor or some other issue. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the servicer "sabotaged" something in response to your comeback about finding the transmission at a cheaper price online, in regards to their overall attitude at the situation. The transmission holds 16 oz. of oil so a few drops or even up to an ounce or two missing is of no large concern. Whirlpool Transmission Part # 3360629 Whirlpool Transmission Internal Parts PartSelect - Replacing Whirlpool Transmission 3360629 Be aware if you search for more videos that there's a newer washer design known as VMW that also has a transmission but it's not the same as yours.

Last week I went to one of the larger BB&B stores and was shocked at the empty shelves. They appear to have remodeled and it is a sparser look. They've even changed the check outs to one line behind stanchions - which does work better but makes it look more like a warehouse store. Then in yesterday's mail I received a BB&B brochure announcing their "new look, new services, new collections and a new in-store app" along with an invitation to their Open House 9/27 - 10/3 with special pricing 10/2 and 3. I didn't recognize any Brand names in their brochure but so I'll have to look at their online site. One of the biggest problems with many 'store' brands is lack of consistency. They may switch manufacturers and the product changes.
