You might try taking a look at this entry (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/appliances/kenmore-dryer-not-starting-209359.html).
The thermal fuse (http://www.partselect.com/assets/partimages/345113_1_M.jpg) is an inexpensive part that can cause this symptom.

Good Luck,

Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it? Lets start by testing componets rather that just spending money and replacing them. This way you'll find the problem, save money and get the unit working again

Did you check your 220 breaker or fuse?

Many times, when the old element goes bad, it will trip the breaker.

Maybe a stupid question, but have run into this a few times.

I didn't make it clear, but I would TEST the thermal fuse before replacing it. That will require some knowledge or a friendly parts man with a multimeter.
