You have either a burnt board or other curcuitry issues, the main power supply may also have burnt up on you. If you really want to save this you will need a qualified technician to look at this. Leave the unit unplugged till it is erepaire, there is always a possiblity that more shorts could occur and cause a fire.

Why is my dryer shutting off half way through and smell hot

Good Morning Friend,

I understand that your Frigidaire dryer, model# FFSE5115PW, is shutting halfway through the cycle, and smells hot. Please make sure that the lint filter, lint trap, ducting leading outside, and the outside ducting are free of lint. What can happen, is there is not enough air flow if these are clogged with lint, so your dryer will become hot and smell hot. This could possibly cause it to turn off as a safety feature. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Tv Smells bad

If it's a burning or hot smell, may be dust in the back. Simply vacuum the vents on the rear regularly.

TV shuts off by itself and has a burning smell

mine is doing the same thing but i was able to pinpoint it to a capacitor arching and smoking. haven't replaced it yet so i'm not sure if it's just a bad capacitor or a more involved issue.

Refrigerator burning rubber smell when it tries to turn on

sounds like the relay on the compressors is getting hot and cutting the unit out, if the fridge is quite old it may well be the run windings gone short circuit in the compressor pot. The relay switches from start to run windings so may be firing the start circuit, switching over to a shorted run winding, and then getting hot and activating the thermal cutout and hence the burnig smell, plus the start and rapid shut down of the compressor.
