Its not the vent that has failed. You need to find out why the dishwasher is making smoke. The vent is only where it comes out. If you know what you are doing repair the dishwasher, if not replace it.

I can smell smoke in the room when our pellet stove is burning , we have taped all joints mon the stove pipes , is there another place it could be coming from

Check to see the flue is open to vent the smoke. Also, these stoves need air to burn correctly, so there needs to be enough fresh air to the room. A smoltering fire will always smell like smoke, a well burning fire will not.

Why is the dishwasher smelling like electric burning and smoke coming out of the door vent?

Hi friend, thank you for your post!

I understand that your Frigidaire dishwasher is giving off an electric burning smell and you are seeing smoke coming out of the door vent. It could possibly be an issue with your control panel or door vent, both have electrical components inside of them. Since it could be either one of these underlying issues I would recommend having a technician come out to your home and diagnose and repair the dishwasher. Hope this helps. -Matt

Why does ovenstove vent smokes if baking is over 350

There is probably some built up grease in the vent and when it gets hot enough it burns which would cause it to smoke.

Heater and aircon not working,loud rattling noise and smoke from vent,now not power to fan

It appears your fan itself burned out. When a field coil of an electrical fan burns out it usually makes a lot of smoke. The noise could be something that fell in there that stopped the fan from turning freely. I can imagine it heated up under the strain and burned out.

When you restarted it was burnt out so hence no noise and no fan.
The smell of the smoke should also be clue. Electrical field coils burning has an awful soury type of smell.

It is taking over 2 hours to dry a load of clothes. I stopped the cycle and opened the door to check the clothes. The dryer smelled like something was burning but no visible smoke. This is a fairly new...

Sounds like the vent is clogged with lint. You should have the vent cleaned once a year to keep the appliance operating properly. Also, make sure there are no kinks in the vent line.
Good luck!
