Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. When that isn't the fix, if power and the door are both fine, the fault is in the control board or start circuit, and testing that safely means working inside a live electrical panel.
