Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times, sometimes you can loose half the line without tripping the breaker.
It would be a good idea to check the power, if you have a meter.
Another common cause is a blown thermal fuse (item 23 in Section 3)
Unplug the unit and check the fuse with a meter should be 0 ohms.
Jiggery Pokery method is.
Unplug the unit.
Remove both wires from the fuse, short them together and tape them up so they will not short to the frame.
Plug the unit in and give it a try.
If blown, replace the fuse ASAP as it is a critical safety device re: prevents lint fires which can turn into house fires.
Also clean/check your vent system and the blower as these are the most common causes of it blowing.
