Hi,

What is the make and model number of the hair dryer?

Does it have a "burning" smell?

Check the back of the hairdryer. Sometimes there’s like a mesh that gets clogged up restricting the flow of air through it, if it doesn’t get enough air flow it will start to overheat.

Does you hairdryer have a screen for filtering out debris going into the unit? Did you check for hair getting past it, entering the heating element and cooking hair? Cooked/burned hair usually results from the unit ingesting hair and creating the terrible smell.

@notbroken you’ve just wrote what I said 😂

@strongbow, blocking or restricting airflow tends to allow the heating element to create hotter air temps without burning but any debris like hair getting into a hair drier will burn and melt creating the bad odors.
