Kenmore stacked washer-dryer 41794802301 dryer wont start

The appliances were not designed to be stacked so I would not attempt it if anything I would build a shelf (ledge) to put the dryer on, then bracket it to the wall but be careful of the height especially with a gas dryer and be sure to have plenty of space for airflow. Good luck

Here is a service manual for the stacked set. The model may be a little different but the repairs will be the same.

The element is likely failed.
