Why is there a smoky smell on my clothes?
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury or death, disconnect your appliance from its power source
before you start any troubleshooting or repair work. Use caution when working inside any appliance.
Even though you have a lint filter in your dryer, it
doesn't catch all
the lint. You need to check inside the cabinet at least yearly to look
for and clean out any lint build-up. If you smell smoke, your dryer may
have had a small lint fire inside the cabinet. The smell from these
fires can leave a smoky odor in the clothes drum, and also on your
clothes.
You must clean out the lint trap after every use. You also
need to
clean all of the lint from the inside cabinet and inner ductwork of
your dryer. Be careful because many house fires are caused by lint
build up in dryers and their vents. Keep your family safe by checking
for lint buildup in the cabinet at least yearly. Install a smoke alarm
near your dryer for added protection. Have a professional appliance
repair person check the dryer for damage caused by any lint fires.
