Do you still have the smell if you run the unit in an air/ fluff cycle?
Air cycle may say no heat this is on your timer settings
Like timed ,Auto Regular cycle ,Air/ cool down
yes Been with Whirlpool for 15 years.
I also Teach a Whirlpool certified Appliance technician course, at local College.
it was probably lint on the heating element .
Which is why a dryer should be cleaned about once every two years or so!!!
What? Could I talk to someone else? I am not interested in being scolded, what is this? you didn't even answer my question about a fire starting.....
Here is a thought,
What good does it do to tell someone what they SHOULD HAVE done? Hindsight is always 20/20. I asked a question, and the response was "That is why you should clean it out every two years!!!!!!!!"
What the hell is that about?
That does sound like scolding to me, and if you don't feel that way, that's your opinion, but I do.
And telling me that you don't agree with how I feel serves no purpose other to bring on feelings of defensiveness.
Is that what your company is about?
