Kenmore 90 Plus Series electric dryer. I turned the dryer on to dry the load. When cycle was finished, I opened up the door to find the clothes and the whole inside of dryer black...almost looks like grease. The clothes were dry..I heard no unusual noise from the dryer..it was quiet. I thought maybe something was in with the clothes but I found nothing. After trying to clean dryer(it didn't work too well) I started it and it ran(quiet) but I immediatly turned it off due to a burning smell.
Hello. I know exactly what is wrong with your dryer.
If your clothes get marked or torn in your dryer, check these:
Rollers
Rear seal
Front glides
Front seal
Rollers
Your dryer may use rollers, or wheels, to support the rear of the clothes drum. When these are worn out, they may cause the clothes drum to drop down slightly, which can pinch the clothes between the top of the clothes drum and the rear of the dryer interior. When the rollers wear out, you need to replace the whole set.
Rear seal
Your dryer may have a felt-like seal at the rear of the drum. If this seal is worn, torn, or missing, clothes can get caught and torn in the space between the clothes drum and the rear of the dryer interior. When the rear seal wears out, you need to replace it.
Front glides
Your dryer probably uses nylon or plastic glides at the front of the clothes drum for support. When these are worn out, they may cause the clothes drum to drop down slightly, which can pinch the clothes between the top of the clothes drum and the front of the dryer interior. When the glides wear out, you need to replace them as a set.
Front seal
Many dryers have a felt-like seal at the front of the drum. If this seal is worn, torn, or missing, the clothes in the dryer may get caught and torn in the space between the clothes drum and the front of the dryer interior. When the seal wears out, you need to replace it.
