See the attachment for the wiring diagram.
Could be a number of things but I would start with the power.
Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly, sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
If this does nothing, check the voltage at the plug
L1 to L2 should be 240 volts
L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts.
If OK
Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out
If OK
Check the power at the terminal strip.
Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!!
If OK, unplug the unit and check the following with a meter:
Heater - 8 to 12 ohms
Thermal cutoff - 0 ohms
HiLimit Thermostat - 0 ohms
Operating Thermostat - 0 ohms
