We noticed a mild smell of electrical/wire Burning a couple of days ago when using the oven but it didn't persist and the oven itself carried on fine. We cooked dinner and because it was never too strong didn't dwell on it.

Yesterday we went to pre-heat to 400 and my wife heard something and saw what she described as 'flames' behind the electrical control panel. Turned oven off on circuit breaker until I could take a closer look.

This morning I popped the control panel off and whilst there didn't seem to be signs of burning around the panel itself I did see where it looks like something had burnt out... I snapped some pics with the phone here... which I'm attaching to the post...

Desperately hoping this isn't the end of the road for the oven... anyone have any thoughts on how fixable this is?

Thanks,
Greg

I just pulled the wall oven out, and tested the thermal fuse since it has given us trouble before but the thermal fuse is showing continuity, so it's fine. I think I'm going to peel a few more panels off and see what components burnt out visibly on the right near side of the oven behind the control panel...
