Here is a manual

I am assuming that the interior light works and everything else looks normal.
If yes then I would check:
- Belt switch - could be just a broken belt.
- The thermal fuse - if it is blown clean/check your vent system as this is the most common cause of it blowing.
Note: The parts breakdown does not show a thermal fuse while the manual does (Page 5-2). I do not know which is correct.
