In this case, the best solution is to thoroughly clean the dryer to eliminate the odor. Remove the lint trap and clean it with white vinegar. Clean the vents, rear hose and all duct work with a long brush, then cover the brush with a rag that has been sprayed with white vinegar to help remove any odors.
Why does my dryer smell like a dead animal?
As air passes through the screen it carries lint particles that gather in your vent eventually blocking it if left unchecked. Sometimes when a vent becomes obstructed the steam reverts back into water. The combination of heat, water, and lint sitting in your dryer vent create a smell similar to a dead animal.
