I've checked owner's manual troubleshooting and checked the outlet. No
problem there.

Could be the timer or the "on" switch. I'm pressing the switch but it
seems like it "may" not be engaging. Nothing happens. House fuse is fine
and the door is shut firmly.

I'm about to pull it out but thought I'd check with the geniuses.

Hi,
Then why don't you check the switch first. Like momentarily shorting the
two leads
on the switch. If switch is good and you have power, at least you should
feel or hear some thing like motor humming or trying to turn jerking,
etc. If it is dead silent, indeed
switch may not be making a contact when you push it.
