There is a very simple way to get rid of unwanted smells. I would suggest use a cup of white vinegar every wash to clean from stale muck and smells inside the machine.

You have a serious clog somewhere in your dryer exhaust ventilation. I would recommend you STOP using the dryer immediately and clean both the interior and all the vent ducting from where it exits the dryer to where it exits the home. the burning is coming from lint build up in and around the heating element and its beginning to smolder. This is a potential fire hazard and may end up causing the heating circuits to fail. The condensation comes from the the inability of the hot air (which is mixed with humidity from your clothing) condensating inside the vent duct. The lint starts to collect and get wet to the point of saturation. Then it begins to cause water to form and leak out of the ducting and on to your floor. You do not want this condensation inside the dryer where the heating circuits are. The following link will provide with some guidance for future reference:

Pay particular attention the paragraph where it discusses proper dryer ventilation. I hope this helps you. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

you can unplug the unit , and reomve the lower aces panel (3 screws along the front bottom of unit) youll probalby see an excess of lint built up in which case you can vacuum it out, and then check/clean and or replace your dryer vent
SOURCE: Clothes not drying even after 4 cycles
you have to check your dyer vent hose and vent pipe to outside for any restrictions. #1 problem for extented drying time. it like having a backed up sink
SOURCE: Bad smell inside dryer
that's because it's brand new. See if it goes away in a month. After a load has dried leave the door open for a bit. What does it smell like?

Experienced this myself..also it was taking much longer to dry. I purchased a long brush (looks like a long bottle brush ) thats bendable if needed. remove lint filter and using this brush you can remove trapped lint Have a small garbage can nearby if you've never cleaned it. I couldnt believe the amount of lint. Purchased brush at dollar store for under $5 and its great for cleaning refrigerator coils. Hope this helps
