When my dryer is on, it smells like something is burning. I cleaned I the vents and tubes, nothing is clogged. Does anyone know what this could be? Perhaps a belt, the motor? Thanks. Steve

In the dryer trouble makers:
- motor
- lint build up
- mildew ( bad vent )
- burnt wire
- over heating ( thermostats )
