Default Sears/Kenmore dehumidifier repair?

I bought two Kenmore dehumidifiers (model 580.54351, 35 pint) two
years ago. As of about two weeks ago, the compressor on one has
completely stopped working. When you plug it in, the fan goes on for
about a minute and a half and shuts off---then nothing happens. The
refrigeration system (refrigerant, tubing, compressor motor) is under
warranty. The rest of the machine isn't. Is there something I can do
to test whether the compressor is defective, rather than the control
system?

I have a parts list, but not an electrical diagram. If anyone has
such a thing, a copy might be helpful. Any other suggestions would be
well appreciated also.

Thanks in advance!!
