Burning smell coming from my Kirby?

My Kirby has recently developed a horrible burning smell. Any idea how I can troubleshoot and repair myself?

additional make sure the motor shaft turns freely with the belt off.

replace the belt. make sure the motor is getting air to cool it. the bad news is the motor possibly failing.
