Every time I turn on my hair dryer, there’s a faint burning smell. It still works, but the scent makes me uneasy. I’ve checked for visible dust and hair buildup. Is a burning smell in a hair dryer a sign of serious internal damage?
I noticed that too with my dryer, it wasn’t smoky or sparking, just that subtle burnt odor that makes you second-guess using it. Even when everything looked clean, I realized it could signal that parts are getting stressed or dust is trapped inside.
