I have a kenmore gas dryer , 70 series about 4-5 years old. When I dry clothes the inside of the drum smells like charcol light fluid, making the clothes smell like charcol lighter fluid. It also seems to be very hot inside the drum, even on the "delicate" cycle. I have cleaned the filter and the pipe to the outside with no luck solving the problem. Please help I need clean clothes.

Sometime recently there has been a petroleum product used in the house. Possibly an oil based paint, stain, varnish, adhesive or some form of cleaning product.

Anyone of these products or many others like them, contain a distillate of liquid. Check around the house.

Until that oil based product dries or cures, the odor and vapors will remain and so will the dryer smell.

At the end of the drying cycle, use the air fluff cycle to purge out the smell. Besure to return the selector on the dryer back to it's prior postition.
