I bought a used dryer (maytag model #MDE9306AYW). When I went to hook it up, I noticed that the extension hose from the exhaust to the vent hose was missing and there was a lot of lint in the bottom. I cleaned out the lint to the best of my ability, and bought the extension hose to connect to the exhaust and flexible vent hose. When I turned on the dryer it seemed to work fine. About 3 minutes into it running, the dryer started to smoke. I immediately turned it off and unplugged it. What is causing this?
