I suggest that you call Elecraft Support on Monday. I'm sure they have a
diagnostic procedure that they can take you through on the phone. Even
if there IS a failure somewhere, chances are that you can fix it
yourself with their help.
Just guessing, but I suggest you open it and make sure all the small
coax cables to the synthesizers are well seated. Since it was recently
shipped, something could have worked loose.

ok I'm going to be answering several of your suggestions at once
here.
First, when I powered off last night, I used the power button on the
K3 itself, I did not kill the power supply first
The sub RX has been turned off and the RX Ant is NOT selected. Ant 1
is selected and the Antenna IS plugged into the port
The is NO noise shown on the S meter and I have a pretty constant S3
to S5 noise here at my qth.
Regardless of mode selected there is no power output, the display
says 0
When I activate the tuner, regardless of band, it shows no SWR, says
5 watts out, but there is NO POWER OUT of it. It always acts like it
is matching, or sounds like it is.

The K3 can get antennas in a bewildering collection of ways. If the
RX antenna switch is on -- and this was my way of getting on
reception -- it might be your problem. The K3 can also send received
signals out on one of the BNC connectors and expect to get them back
on another.
I recommend a careful reading of the manual, perhaps in PDF form with
a search for "antenna". The manual is downloadable from the Elecraft
web site.
