Burning smell from Ariston Margherita 2000 AB95?

We have had this washing machine for about five years and for the last three years have been using it daily. Yesterday when I had my daily load on I noticed a burning smell and located it to be behind the washing amchine. Does anyone know what this is? Is it worth reparing or shall we buy a new one?
