I get a really hot smell from the dryer within a minute of turning it on. I have good air flow coming out of the back. Thoughts?

Why does the check filter light still flash on the dryer after I clean the filter ?
Hey Carolyn, thank you for your inquiry. We have researched your model and found that if the check filter light is still blinking after you clean your lint filter then you may need to reset the dryer by unplugging it for a minute and then holding down the start/pause button for 8 seconds while it is unplugged. This will reset the error code for check filter. If you are still facing the same issue you may need to replace its lint filter part number PS3527575. We hope this helps. If you need help placing an order, customer service is available 7 days a week. Thanks again for your great question.
How to check belt and how to remove the back plate?
Hi Ted, thank you for contacting us. We have researched and found instructions related to the removal of the bake plate. Preassemble an elbow to the next duct section and secure all joints with duct tape. Be sure that the male end of the elbow faces away from the dryer. Insert the elbow duct assembly through the side opening and press it onto the adapter duct. Secure in place with duct tape. Be sure that the male end of the duct protrudes to connect the remaining ductwork. Attach the cover plate to the back of the dryer with the included screw. Also, the instructions related to the checking of the belt. Pull the belt from the right over to the left. Lay it right across the top of the idler. Push that idler to the left and pull the belt down on the inside of the idler, now around the motor pulley. Just rotate that drum a couple of turns to make sure that it is staying true then the pulley wheel will turn and the belt will stay on both pulleys. Verify that it is staying in its track on the drum, and next put the front bulkhead and cross-member support in. We hope this solves your problem!

I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged the dryer.

I then used a vacuum to clear any lint from the back of the dryer and inside the dryer. This took me about an hour and a half. I did it this way because I did not want to disassemble the entire dryer to get to the components. I received the fuse in 3 days and tested it. It was fine. I then put it in the dryer screwed it in place, connected the wires. Replaced the lint tube. This took about 10 minutes. Dryer is running great.

Found disassembly video and watched several times. Suspected that one of the drum wheels had seized up. Found extreme volume of lint and hair inside unit as well as a dryer sheet melted on top of heating unit. Front left drum wheel was worn down from lint and hair jamming its movement. Video made it easy, not a really complicated piec
... Read moree of machinery. Replaced all 4 wheels due to normal wear on other three. Wanted to be sure drum evenly balanced on all 4. Parts came quickly and were easy to install. My sister and I did this together. Would not recommend doing it alone. Took time to vac and wipe down entire unit. Now it runs so quiet we have to look to see if it is operating. Got a brand new machine out of it, saved a couple of hundred dollars in repair bills, and found 11 cents inside the machine. For your own piece of mind, if you have had your dryer for several years, you need to open it up and clean it out. Its not hard... added note, we are both in our 60's... so if we can do it so can you.... Such a feeling of accomplishment, can't buy that in a store....
