Unplug it; wait about a minute; then plug it back in and tell us if you hear the compressor start up. I should sound like sort of a mechanical "purring".

Three possibilities: Dead compressor; bad relay/overload (the plastic parts connected to the compressor); or a bad control board. How handy are you at using a multi-meter?

Unplug the machine again, and remove the plastic assembly attached to the compressor. Shake the larger of the two components. If it rattles, replace it. While you're at it, set your meter to the lowest ohms scale. You'll see the pin connectors on the compressor where the relay/overload were attached. they form a triangle, with one pin at the apex (either pointing up, or down). The apex is the common terminal. It represents the connection that is connected to one end of both the windings inside. Place one test probe on the common, and the other probe on one of the other pins. Record the reading. Now place the second prob on the other pin and record that reading. Then remove the probe from the common terminal and place it on the other pin, so that you're reading between the pins that form the base of the triangle. If the compressor is good, the third reading should be roughly the sum of the other two. Finally, test for continuity (any positive reading in the lowest ohms range) between each pin terminal on the compressor, and chassis ground. If any one of the terminals has continuity to ground, the compressor is bad. Let us know what you find.
