I have a Kenmore Electric Dryer Series 80 Model 110.86980800 MX4737306. The heating element works - it's bright red when I open the door. My problem is that there is a hot, burning smell coming from something. All lint has been cleaned out of everywhere. Any assistance will be helpful. Thanks!
If this is a new element, this is normal until it has been used a few cycles. Use it and watch it carefully for a while. If it continues have a competent person to take the rear panel off and check for burnt wires or lint inside the unit.
