737 Flap Asymmetry questions

Greetings all,

I will soon be returning to the sim and will be seeing a flap failure for the first time since my initial training 2 years ago.

It seems rather straight forward and the Boeing QRH is easy to step through however I do have some questions I would like to throw at the experts.
  1. With a TE Flap Assy it suggests that normal operation can be continued if the Assy indication is removed after setting the flap handle to the nearest detent (equal to or less than). Our manual states that in the case of Assy “hydraulic power is removed” so I am assuming that hydraulic power is restored simply by moving the flap handle again in response to the QRH?
  2. What would cause an Assy condition that could be cleared by moving the flap handle?
And a bonus question:

3. Our manuals/QRH have no information about brake cooling times and I am intrigued that this would not become a factor following an RTO. Do Boeing not provide these?

Cheers and thanks for any guidance that can be provided
