I have a Maytag Neptune front loading dryer. There was a power outage last night and the power to the dryer did not restore. Is there a reset button for this dryer. i can not locate my manual.

Here are your parts includes a wiring diagram.
Replacement parts for MAYTAG MDE5500AYW DRYER- ELE | AppliancePartsPros.com

There is no reset button.

Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times, 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 !!!
