Check electrical cord; is it firmly seated in wall outlet
Check GFCI and reset if tripped
Check if dryer circuit breaker is tripped, reset if necessary.
Check to see if building circuit breaker is tripped. If circuit is overloaded, move cord to different GFCI outlet.
If using an extension cord, make sure it is in good condition, proper gauge and firmly connected.
