I've already just had my dryer vent cleaned by a professional company, but I still smell a burning smell?

Any ideas as to what it might be? There shouldn't be any lint blocking the dryer vent I paid 100 dollars to have a company come and clean it.

    I think its something on the actual heating element. But if you think it was not cleaned correctly turn the drier on and check for good airflow outside.

    Brian give it time it could be just an after smell

    But if the burning smell persists

    Call a repair guy who fixes dryers

    It could be wiring your smelling
