We have a Kitchenaid oven model KDRP407HSS13. Last year I had an error on the display and after some research, I replaced the fuse behind the control panel. That fixed that problem and it has worked for several months. Now the oven gets power to the contol panel, the oven lights work and there are no errors on the display. When I select any baking option and hit enter, the oven does not heat up. I read on this forum that there is another thermal fuse behind the oven just above the convection fan (which I have located). Can I bypass the fuse using a jumper wire to see if that is the problem before I order a new fuse or could it be another issue?

No, it does not broil. In fact it doesn't matter what the dial is on (proof, preheat, bake, convection, broil, etc) it does not heat up.

Most likely the problem is a bad oven shut down thermal fuse (#37 on the diagram). You can bypass it for the test purpose only, but it is more save to test the fuse for continuity. - The thermal fuse Part number: AP3055316

Gene, I apologize, as you can tell I am a novice. Is there any way to easily check the fuse for continuity? THANKS!!!

Gene, I tested the oven shut down fuse for continuity and it checks out okay. Do you have any other ideas for me? THANKS!!!

It's been almost a year since our last conversion. You did not have time to fix it or it broke again?
Gene.
