My dryer has a burning smell that transfers to the clothes. Is there a way to open it up and clean it out. I have taken our the dryer link screen and cleaned out lint from the inside area also.
Is this a good question?

The smell is actually lint within the body of the dryer that has caught on fire. Please clean your dryer out immediately!!! I have had the same problem. Remove the front panel below the dryer door ( two bolts on the very bottom, one on each side), and give it a good cleaning!

I know this is %#*@ near 5 years old but this comment just saved me from a house fire. Removed the front panel at the bottom via the two bolts you mentioned and BAM! Just handful after handful of scorched lint. We just bought this house a couple months ago so I guess the previous owners didn't do $@$* for maintenance. Glad I caught it early. Thank you!!!
