Can bake element short out oven?

:confused: Shortly after preheating my oven’s heating element gave a POP, flamed a bit, and then all went dead including the clock. Do I just need to replace the heating element or do I have a worse problem?

I discovered that the breaker had been tripped when the element flamed out. Now only the bake element doesn’t work. I ordered one.:rolleyes:
