Any fault to ground, if continued,would eventually become a short circuit and trip the branch circuit breaker.It is not known if the branch circuit breaker was in the tripped condition initially.OK. OP here...
I was unable to obtain detailed info for the dryer.
It was a Maytag model and had a 3 wire circuit powering it as well as a 3 wire cord.
It was not running but had some items in the drum when thge dryer caught on fire.
They were slightly burnt and damaged from the heat, but do not appear to be the source of the ignition.
