How do I check a Maytag Preforma PYE/G4500 because it wont run?

I need to know how to check and fix a maytag performa pye/g4500 dryer. yesterday it worked just fine. this morning however we went to start the dryer and nothing. the light was not even on. does the light have anything to do with the power or does it trip a fuse internaly somewhere. is there a fuse that we can check. we even trying taking the door off and cleaning it out but nothing has helped. is there something else that I can do to get it to run again.
