Now, when I used my dryer it is getting extremely hot to the touch and it has a burnt smell in the area where he worked on at the back of my dryer. what has he done to my dryer and can it be repaired?

Pull the dryer out and check the vent hose to make sure that its not kinked!!! As long as you have a good connection and its taped up correctly it should have NO effect on the dryer.
