Extruder died

My extruder on my MK3s just stopped in mid print.  Tried reboot but nothing. Where is the first place to examine please?

First check all the electrical/electronic connections.  Pull and reseat all the connectors, make sure that screw connections are firm.

If no difference you will have to do a little disassembly so that you can safely:

Try plugging the extruder stepper motor into a different socket - does it turn?

Try plugging a different stepper motor into the extruder socket - does it turn?

This *might* be a fix but should at least narrow down the problem.

Good place to start.  Also check the fuses to see if they tripped.
