A Speed Queen TR7 with no power should be checked in the order the guide gives: the power cord pushed fully into the outlet, the laundry-room fuse or circuit breaker, the lid closed and Start/Pause pressed, and the controls set properly. If all four status lights flash at once the washer has power and is signalling a fault: unplug it for 15 seconds, plug it back in, and call service if the lights still flash.
