It seems to be getting better each time we use it but it is still there. We have installed a fragrance canister in the laundry and that helps some. One reply was to buy a new dryer and trust me this smell is do bad the thought was there to do just that. I think because of a kink we found in the vent line the dryer couldn’t push the wet air out and over time the wetted lint built up in the back of the dryer creating the most disgusting smell I have ever encountered. It’s similar to the one Seinfeld had in his car after letting a valet guy park his car. Remember that one? Thanks again for all the replies and take my advice and clean your dryer vent every couple of years. Happy holidays to all with no stink!!
Thanks for the update but I’m sure this thread will go on and on and on.
