I noticed a new odd behavior from my 10 year old electric Kitchen Aid
dryer, the clothes smell like charcoal or lighter fluid.
I checked the lint trap and it was empty.
Is this a symptom of some common problem?
Thanks


Are you sure the exhaust hose isnt full if lint blocking airflow, that
could burn out a unit, I wouldnt use it till its checked out.


Does it smell like possibly the belt is burning or rubbing against
something?
