YES ITS THE MOTOR THATS GONE BANG- mine started smelling but it still worked till the motor ended up sounding like a bike revving up n down then it went with a bang and filled my flat with smoke- so sorry to say but yes the motors is a broken

Sounds very much like the motor, the smell of a burnt out motor is very strong and hangs about. Have you tried to start it again - if it doesnt go then you have your answer. You can try smelling the area where motor is and you will smell burning smell - even with it not running
