There could be several reasons for the odor coming from your dryer. Among the most common reasons are the following:

• The vent line needs to be cleaned.
• Overuse of detergent.
• Lint accumulating in the lint trap.

You should never leave moist clothing in your dryer and you should always clear the lint trap before using it. The dryer vent should be examined on a regular basis for filth, debris and damage. If you discover a burning or unusual odor, turn off your dryer immediately, remove clothing from the dryer and contact one of our dryer repair specialists.

Small foreign items in the dryer's drum or lint filter might be causing the squeaking sounds. Coins, paper clips and other such things are easily identified and removed from the drum. Unplug the dryer and peek down the aperture to examine the lint filter. If you detect an object that has been trapped, wear work gloves to retrieve it.

Airflow is critical to getting your garments to dry correctly. Airflow via the dryer vent is an important part of successful dryer operation. Poor airflow in clothes dryer systems is frequently caused by clogged air vents. Turning on your dryer and heading outside to feel the flow of air leaving the vent is one technique to detect if your dryer's air vent is clogged. If it's sluggish and not very warm, your vent may need to be cleaned.

It may sound silly, but check to see that your dryer is turned on and receiving power. Check the circuit breaker if the dryer is plugged in but does not appear to be working. Reset the dryer's circuit if it has been tripped. Then, check the dryer vent. When was the last time it was cleaned? The most common cause of house fires is a dirty or clogged dryer vent. This task needs to be done once a year to ensure the safety of your home. 

Moisture on the inside of the drum? After the drying cycle is completed, condensation may be seen in the dryer drum. Improper ventilation can cause moisture and lint to accumulate in the dryer's exhaust system duct and seep back into the dryer after it shuts off, resulting in condensation.

It will depend on the make and model, but you can typically find the model/serial number one the back of the dryer near the top or on the side panel near the front. Generally, model and/or serial numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will undoubtedly be printed on a paper label or a metal plate.
