Hello. This site is tops!

So .... had a failing dryer, discovered a thrown circuit breaker and ultimately this ...

<unable to post image, so I tried an attachment.>

Line cord retainer became loose and allowed terminals to "break out" terminal block and the

positive lead shorted to ground.

Could someone speculate what component I would likely need to replace do to damage? Thanks in advance! Be well.

Thanks Eric. I used tinyurl and pasted in the link described as Direct Link for Layout. Any idea what I should have used?

Thanks again Eric. I'm actually good with the damage to the terminal block, I was looking for some insight into what component would likely be the first to be taken out by a ground short. I'd look at it myself, but am unable to find an electrical diagram for the dryer. I'm not ready to pay a service for a diagram yet. Any thoughts? From my experience, I could be looking for a relay perhaps, but I'm guessing. What do you think?

A short circuit at the connection block would not likely take out any components in the dryer. Here are your parts list and wiring diagram.
