First, check the power outlet by plugging in another device. If the outlet works, the issue may be the washer's power cord. Inspect for damage. Ensure that the washer's door is fully closed, as some models won’t start otherwise. Check the circuit breaker and reset it if tripped. If none of these steps resolve the issue, a professional repair might be needed.
