Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Worth checking yourself first: try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. Beyond that, a control board fault has to be tested with a meter against the service manual — swapping the board on a guess is an expensive way to be wrong.
