Rusty, sorry for the confusion. I may have led you on a wild goose chase. From what I can, tell your Maytag does not have the side mounted filter like I described...which is good as far as I'm concerned. It would be a bear to get to. By "lifting the top" I meant that many top loaders have 2 hinges on the rear of the top and 2 fastening clips on the front. By popping the front clips loose with a screwdriver you can lift the top back and see down around the outside of the tub.
Check this site out. You can use your pointer to go over the exploded diagram and it will name the various parts of your machine, including a filter if you have one. The diagram shown here is a "typical" top loading Maytag. The filter for this machine looks to be mounted between the agitator and fabric softener dispenser. Appliance Parts from RepairClinic.com - Detailed Appliance Illustration. If you enter your particular model # at top it should bring up a diagram for your machine. I'm starting to doubt that the filter is the source of the odor, but still may be worth checking if it persists.
