Open the back, clean the lint out and do the same with the blower motor and lint trap.

Baking soda, it will absorb the odor. Put a small opened box in the dryer over night and see if the smell is gone the next morning, if not you may have to do this for a couple of nights. I had a bedroom that had a bad odor (the people that lived in the room didn't clean it) and it took me a week to get rid of the odor but it did work.

Option #1, try running on a no heat setting with only a few Downey sheets.
Option #2, wash a couple of rags and dry them with a couple of Downey sheets.

Do what Shepherd said - then clean the inside with white vinegar.
