Dryer Leaves Clothes Smelling Strange

My dryer has been leaving my clothes smelling strange lately. It’s not a great smell, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. I’m hoping someone can help me figure it out.

Thanks for posting your question! There are a lot of different things that could be causing your dryer to leave your clothes smelling strange. Can you give us some more details about what kind of smell it is? For example, is it a burning smell or a wet clothes smell?

It’s not really a burning smell or a wet clothes smell. It’s more like a strange, musty odor. It’s hard to describe.

If it’s a musty odor, that could be a sign of mold or mildew in the drum or seal of the dryer. Have you checked to see if there’s any visible mold or mildew in there?

I did check the drum and the seal, but I didn’t see any mold or mildew.

Another possibility is that the issue is caused by a mouldy interior in the dryer. This can happen when the door is kept closed after use, and the moisture inside the dryer isn’t allowed to escape. Have you been leaving the door open after using the dryer?

I haven’t been leaving the door open. Do you think that could be causing the issue?
