Look closely at the power cord itself, both ends. Make sure the cord connections are not burnt at the terminal block. Terminal block is where the cord attaches to the dryer. Check the prongs on the plug end of the cord and make sure there are no burnt marks on the prongs, the flat bladed prongs. Look for signs of any melting around the prongs, if so, replace the cord.
