    First steps:

    1. Check the breaker. Is it thrown?
    2. If the breaker is on, then check the switch (little grey box with electrical wires coming out). Pull the grey cover and check the contact points. Are they touching?
    3. If 1 and 2 are OK, then use a voltmeter to see if you are getting current to the pump.
