Burning Smell from Your Dryer in Calgary

A burning smell from a dryer needs attention. Do not run another load to see whether it clears.

What details help identify the problem?

Tell us when you first noticed the smell and whether drying became slower or the dryer became unusually hot. Include the model and dryer type.

What can I check safely?

Stop using the dryer and keep clear of smoke or overheating. Follow its safe shutdown instructions and call emergency help if there is an immediate hazard.

What we confirm before the repair

We check for the source of overheating or burning and assess the heating and airflow systems before the dryer returns to use.

Did the smell occur with heat, movement or smoke?

Stop using the dryer and describe what was already observed: a hot smell, visible smoke or an odour that began during tumbling. Do not run it again to produce a recording. If there is smoke or fire, leave the area and contact emergency services; a repair booking is not an emergency response.

How do I request a diagnosis?

Send the full model number, the symptom and any displayed code when you request a visit. The $49 service call is applied toward the repair; confirm the full quote before authorizing work. See the repair cost guide for questions to ask.
