Hi Mel, it depends what type of smell is emanating from the dryer. If it's an electrical type smell, it could be any of the electrical components. I'd advise unplugging at the wall, and then using the process of elimination to diagnose the problem. Check this video out to see how a tumble dryer works, and use it as a guide for checking the dryer: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/tumble-dryers/a/9/114/how-a-tumble-dryer-works.html.
