I have a kitchenaid duel fuel range that the stove top work fine (gas), but the oven does not come on. The control panel lights up and works. We replaced the fuse at the back of the oven with no results. Is there another fuse behind the control panel?

Hi.

First of all check if there is 240VAC to the range.Check the outlet and the breaker.

Post the results.

We checked those also. Someone told me that it could be a fuse in the wiring harness behind the control panel. Have you seen this on this model?

Hi.

The fuse you are referring to will kill the power to the control board witch is not your case.
Are the all oven functions not working?

None of the oven functions are working. We've replaced the TOD fuse at the back, tested the fuse in the wiring harness at the front of the control panel. Changed out the oven control board with the relays on it, and still nothing. But, when we put the new board in, we had tested it by turning the nob to bake, then temp and enter, nothing. Then we set it to "clean" and selected "on", then the display said "door". Could it be that the oven isn't heating up because it thinks that the door is open? Is there a sensor for the door?

HI.

When you turn the oven to Bake does the display says On?

You can check the door and the latch switches from the relay board.
Locate P7-1 and P7-3 at the board.
Door open - no continuity.
Door closed - continuity.
Then P7-2 and P7-3 - no continuity.
Double check the fuses.

Post the results.

When we use the display to preheat, the display acts like it's preheating, but the oven does nothing. I will check the relays for continuity.

HI.

I thing you should go by the old fashion style - trace the wires from the elements. Check if there is 240VAC at the element when it's set for Bake. Then with one wire off trace the leg without the 120v.
Check for incoming 240v at the relay board P4-1 to R (from the thermal fuse at the back).

Post the results.

I have the same problem with my Kitchenaid dual fuel that Susanm had in June 2012. Unfortainately, the blog ends without saying what solved the problem. Any thoughts?

Why I think it has something to do with the mechinizem that tells the oven the door is closed, is when I click on the 'Clean' mode, it tells me to close door. Also the over light will not turn off.

Thoughts would be welcomed.

I actually fixed my problem. Yeah! I took off the front instrument panel and found one of the wires of the door switch disconnected. Reconnected and all is working. We had a little girl using our oven which was closing the oven door very hard. So the disconnected wire did make since. I'm assuming the wire wasn't connected very well in the first place. She wasn't closing the oven door that hard. But the leason I learned was to speek up when someone is doing something you would prefer them not to do. (like closing a door too hard)
