Amana NED4655EW 6.5 cu ft Electric Dryer 2400W Wrinkle Prevent Burning Smell Error Fix: Burning Smell During Operation

A burning smell while the dryer is running requires immediate attention. Possible causes: (1) Lint buildup inside the dryer cabinet, around the heating element, or in the exhaust duct — this is a FIRE HAZARD. Stop the dryer, clean all lint from inside the cabinet and vent. (2) A new dryer may emit a slight smell for the first few uses as manufacturing oils burn off — this is normal. (3) Worn drive belt — a slipping belt produces a rubber burning smell. (4) Worn drum glides — friction creates heat and smell. (5) A seized drum roller or idler pulley. If lint is the cause, have the entire vent system professionally cleaned.
