If it's a gas dryer, it could be a gas leak if its gas fumes you smell. If it's burning rubber, it could be a belt. Also, your lint filter could need a good cleaning with warm water and soap. That will take off the residue from dryer sheets and let the air flow better. Test this by holding the filter under water. If it puddles, it needs a cleaning. After cleaning, test again and I'll bet the water goes right through it. Do this every 6 months or so to save energy and prevent fires.
