My drier seems very hot on the top (outside) of the drier, and the clothes don't dry. The drier seems to smell very hot.

On the back is a long plastic cover. Take it off and inside is a thin belt that drives the fan. It will be broken or possibly just come off the pulley. Buy & fit a new one if yours has broken. Just stretch it over the two pulleys. No adjustment required. Without the belt you will not get any air flow through the machine.
