Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before booking a repair, check the outlet and breaker, and confirm the door is fully closed and latched — many units won't start at all with a door safety switch tripped. Also, try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. Once you've ruled that out, 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.
