    Appreciate any advice please.

    Had it on today. Smell of burning after 40 minutes, no smoke. Used it 2 a week for the last 4 months - only 30 mins to finish off a dry. Small amounts. Never overloaded.

    Tried it there again, and a big bright amber light - it looked like a burner. Wasn’t expecting it.

    I’ll pull it out but doubt the air vent is blocked.

    I would imagine it’s the motor that’s burned out. Appreciate any insights. How can I tell if it is the motor, Can it be fixed, is it worth it etx. Thanks all

    I think it’s the heater. Ah no, won’t use it. It’s plugged out.
    All lint and all vents cleared.
    Will check recall model - good idea
