Default Dryer won't do anything
Brand: Frigidaire
Model Number: heavy duty
Age: 1 - 4 years

Today, I moved the dryer from one location to a new location. It was working perfectly prior to moving it.

Now, it does nothing. Will not turn on, nothing. Doesn't make any noise of any kind.

Could something have come lose when I moved it or a fuse blown inside?

I already checked the voltage coming out of the wall, it is 220 +/-. I also checked it going into the dryer and it is 220 +/-.

What should I check?

Thanks

First Thing Ck Terminals On Power Cord Right To Center Wire(neutral) You Should Show120v Left To Center 120v Across Outside Posts 240v
If New Location Has Poor To No Neutral, You Won't Have A Path Back To Breaker Box. A Very Common Problem. Also If The Hook Up In The Breaker Box Was From The Same Buss Bar, Both 120wires Will Be Of The Same Origins And Will Not Make 240v Just My Opinion Bettyboop

You were pretty close to the problem. As it turns out, it was a bad breaker. When the breaker was on, I was getting power from one pole. When it was off, I was getting power from the other pole. So, I never was getting a full 240v. I replaced the breaker and everything was fine.
