| Could be just a belt, get out your owners book. I think it tells how to change in there. The back comes off the dryer very easy. Theres not much to a dryer and they are pretty easy for most handy folks to fix. Karen L |

| It could be lint buildup. Check your lint filter and your pipes. What does it smell like? Lint, wiring, and burning belt actually all have a different smell. To change the belt the top and front actually comes off on newer dryers. |

| Clean up the dryer exhaust, I think this should be done every year or two. Can you afford $60.00 for a service call ?? I cannot, for certain. so, break open the unit, its rather easy, and check it out. lets us know what happens.. the earthworm |
