When I push start, nothing happens. I do not have much electronic experience nor the tools to check any circuits. Could this be an easy fix, or should I replace the unit.

If in doubt call a service company in your area, ask them how much a diagnosis or in shop fee is have it looked at. If it's just a wire then it's worth it. if not you can have them remove it or leave it with them, which ever is the cheapest(in home vs. in shop) Natalie
