Plug it in and switch the switches to on - then wriggle the cable at the place it enters the wall plug and where it enters the machine - if it gives a short burp you will know you have a cable fault - easily repaired - tugging makes the wires inside break - just shorten the cable by a few inches.
Otherwise you may have a defective wall socket - defective on/off switch - defective overheat cut out - defective motor.
Good luck...
