If the sparking has stopped, that should be fine.

If you have a burned spot you may need to sand it and repaint it with appliance paint from Wal-Mart, etc.

You can probably replace the shelf bracket / hook if it's still available.

If you'll post your brand and model, we'll see if we can steer you toward a source for a new shelf bracket.

If it's a Kenmore, you can probably find an exploded view by entering your FULL model number here: http://www3.sears.com (the 3 is correct)
