Sub-Zero Tripping Circuit Breaker
An appliance with no power is either not being given any or not accepting it, and telling those apart takes one thirty-second test. Here is that test, and the one symptom that means stop rather than retry.
Common Causes
A tripped breaker or blown fuse
Worth ruling out first since it's the simplest and most common cause.
A failed power cord or internal wiring fault
Can develop over time, especially in units that have been moved or renovated around.
A failed control board
The unit may have power reaching it but a board failure prevents it from powering on normally.
