Narrative:
During an approach to the runway; our flaps stopped just off the 'up' position. The captain; who was flying the airplane at the time; initiated a missed approach. After we leveled off at 4;000 ft; the captain transferred control to me. He said he would run the checklist and I should fly the airplane. I was being radar vectored at low altitude and was focused on flying the airplane. The captain was talking with maintenance and running the abnormal checklist for the flaps. I was aware the captain had checked a circuit breaker for the flaps; but was not aware that he had reset one. After the completion of the abnormal checklist; the captain took control of the airplane and we flew an uneventful; no flap landing to runway xxl. We had fire equipment standing by as a precaution.
