Jammed Fan
If the device is not blowing hot air properly, a loose part or kernel may have jammed the fan causing insufficient air flow over the heating coils. The coil will then overheat which would cause smoke or a burning smell. To fix remove the fan and clear it of loose objects.
Grinding Sounds

Loose Part

Broken Motor
If the motor is not functioning properly, it can make a grinding sound. The motor may have overheated at some point during use.
