A electrical wire was touching the metal cabinet or some other metal part of the dryer that it should not be. Quote: how do I check the back of the power cord? Unplug the dryer. Pull it away from the wall. Follow the power cord to were it connects into the back of the dryer. Remove the cover for the power cord and take a look for burnt wires or loose connections.
