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. Should that not clear it, 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.
