On a Kenmore Elite Dryer HE4 error code "08" indicates that it's overheating due to poor airflow. If not cleaned or vented properly it will burn out a fuse or the element.
You need to totally tear it down and scrape out and wash all of the parts except the motor, which you vacuum out. Halfway doing it will not work. This includes the exhaust vent, all the way, even the outlet on the side of the house if you have one. If it is long you may need a booster fan. You can go to YouTube to see videos on how to take it apart, but do a very good job or it will fail again quickly. I would get a new belt and change it while you have it apart and get some white lithium grease and grease any bearings you find. You need to clean out a drier every two years, at least, according to the manual. All sensors work together by comparing temperature, so all need to be cleaned. You just unplug the wires from the sensors and remove ductwork that they are attached on and clean the entire thing with soap and water. Make sure you go all through the dryer and get all parts like the blower fan and housing, vacuum out motor well and clean exhaust. Mark all wires you unplug so you know where they go. This is an easier job than you would think. My sister does hers at least once a year since she has five children and dryer gets a lot of use. This is an easier job than you would think.

My Kenmore elite HE4 electric dryer will not work. The screen displays "PF" power failure, but there was no power failure. Th dryer is maybe 2 years old and worked fine until now. I tried holding down the START button but it still doesn't work. I tried unplugging and tripping the breaker still...

I have a kenmore elite he4 electric dryer, the interior lights come on when you open the doors, although none of the red lights on the control panel will light up. I checked the breaker by turning it on and off a couple of times. No change. I was going to check the Thermal fuse. Not quite sure...
