Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. Also, 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. 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.
