Well it has an electrical short. This may be just a matter of a loose wire. It is dangerous as can give you a shock so be very careful. Take the back off and look for a burned spot. Jiggle the wires to see if you can spot the loose one. Do not try to use this appliance until you have found the short. It can start a fire.

A dryer generally uses 220 volts. In the USA this is provided by two 110 volt lines. So most of the time, the breaker for the dryer will be a jointed switch that throws both at the same time. The rating for those breaker should be printed on the end of the throw tab.

If you will give us the model # of your machine, we can research how many AMPS your dryer generally pulls. But I suspect a breaker failure right now and would look at replacing it but lets first see what you have and then examine what you may need. Where do you live?
