Sounds like power board. Do you get a blinking like at power up? If so, blinking code will indicate problem. Contact store or mfr. Could still be under warranty.
First, I'm not a Kenmore representative.
* Check your warranty. call for service
*** there are HIGH voltages in a dryer that can Kill! ***
* Contact; https://www.sears.com/content/shc/sears/en_us/home-services/repairs.html
* Note sear's closing out. May need to check with them who is taking care of Kenmore Appliances support.
*** The following is for information only ***
* Disconnect dryer from power outlet (it's the really big plug)
* how to check dryer (detailed); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv2UqRUKnm0
* Lots of things can cause the dryer not heating:
* Check power at dryer outlet (220 or 240 Volts AC)
* Check High limits (thermal fuse). Check and replace.
* Check the heater element for continuity.
* Check timer.
* Digital driers have a CPU controller and may have a hardware problem and/or bad programing. This may be caused by a surge or lighting strike. Either way, you will need a MFR qualified tech to check as these newer units are all digital. Some (if you have the wireless option) can be checked by calling the MFR help line. They can check it by internet remote link.
* Older dryers with a selector switch (the knob) gets used and abused. Check rotary switch (they burn out all the time as it has the heater and motor load on the same contact) If it's burnt then change it as it may cause a fire.)
* Look for signs of burning; wires, melted parts, missing or loose parts especially electrical connections.
* vacuum out lint and check all spade (push on connectors) for rusty or burnt connections (caused by high amperage loading from motor and heater load.)
* Final; Again, be safe and call for service. Many of these washer and dryers come with very long warranty (5-10 years) Why fool around with something that is already covered?

Contact sears customer service with your warranty info to resolve this issue. If unit is no longer under warranty then that is a different story. Check youir manual for warranty details.
You probably need to contact Panasonic directly. The standard warranty on the new product has probably expired by now, but you can check the owner's manual.. By the way, did you get an extended warranty? If so, they should help.
Go to sears parts direct web site and put in the model number. Found the page with unit parts our the page that list the compressor. It will have the newest part number
The ones I used were 9.5mm X 25mm Acrylic Tube Bubble Spirit Level Vial. Thats ~ 3/8" x 1" Cost a few dollars including shipping. Carefully peel back the warning stickers, take out the 4 screws, pry the broken one out, clean up the old epoxy, epoxy the new one in and put back together. The whole operation takes less than 6 minutes assuming that you use 5 min epoxy to reset the new bubbles.
This is a known problem with the REAR struts, but not the front. This repair under warranty will have to be decided by the DPSM (District Parts Service Manager) serving that dealership. Good Luck.
Call or email the consumer feedback or make a complaint to Sears. I had a similar prob. Sears ending up replacing rhe washer and paying for rental. Took up to 3-6 months, calling and writing complaint letters.
I have had great success over the years phoning Sears directly
