• 2. Clean lint and debris:
  • Remove the lint filter and clean thoroughly.
  • Access internal ducts and heater housing to remove lint buildup.
• 3. Inspect wiring:
  • Remove rear/top panels and look for burnt wires or connectors.
  • Repair or replace damaged wiring harness sections.
• 4. Heater and motor check:
  • Inspect the dryer heater for hot spots or foreign objects.
  • Listen for unusual motor noises that may indicate overheating.
• 5. Professional service strongly recommended for any burning smell or visible damage.
