We recently moved in to a new home and when I started my dryer today for the first time it is not heating up..... I am not sure if we bumped something or what. Any suggestions?

Check the power.
The motor etc. runs off of half the line but the heating coil requires the full 240 volts.

Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
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.
