There was a short with a pop and flash. The dryer stopped working. Is there a fuse that needs to be replaced or is it the timer switch since that's where the hanger was stuck. Please help. Thank you

After you verify this, shut power off and open up console and check the contacts in the timer. I suspect that they are burnt. You can clean them up with a finger nail file. Good Luck
