This is a bad sign. The heating element has either come loose or the thermostat has failed to shut the heater down. Dont use it anymore. You can disassemble it and see what the damage is but the smell leads me to believe that it is damaged to the point that is should be replaced. Check the warranty to see if it is covered.

My steam mop heats but doesn't steam. almost every time I used it, I used distilled water
Try filling the tank with pure white vinegar and plug it in, pump the handle to get the vinegar through the hose and let it sit for a half hour to dissolve any gunk that is built up, CLR works well for this also. Once it has sat, empty the tank and fill with fresh water.

Sunbeam instruction manuals
Hi! If your cleaner is not steaming it could be that the steamer pump is not on, or there is no water or not enough water in the tank. I have included a link to the instruction manual. If it is still not steaming please contact customer support at 1-800-321-1134. Thanks! http://dirtdevil.com/file/235/

Air purifier filter smells bad
That's interesting... I doubt it is the filter if the new filter did the same. It might help if you take a fan and blow it through the area behind the filter, or maybe even spraying some Lysol in it, because my best guess is that something inside the purifier is what is causing the smell. Hope this helps!

How to disassemble Shark Mop s3601? I took all
You need to remove the shark and power button sticklers. There is two screws in each. Once you remove the screws you slide the grey cover and remove 3 more screws holding the chrome piece. Now you can spread the cover open. I just replaced a torn hose.
