When I turn my tumble dryer on it seems to stink of smoke and makes all the clothes inside stink of smoke. I think I have cleaned out all the possible filters, is there anything else I can try?

Thank you.

sounds like you might have to take the top and side panels off and vacuum the inside out.there might be fluff in the element,again you need to brush it out using a paint brush.the other thing that springs to mind is have you made sure the drum is rotating?.with the lid off this is easy to see
