Your model number is missing the first 3 digits.
It is these digits which specifies who actually made the unit.

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.
Do this with the heater off and on.
Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!!

The motor runs off of half the line (120 volts) while the heater requires the full 240 volts.

If power is OK then check the heating coil and then the thermal cut-off for continuity.
