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. Now the oven gets power to the contol panel and to the oven lights and no errors. 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?

Gene. I hear that. Are you still broken? Phil

Gene. It works fine. I guessed right. The salesman with my appliance supply house locally told me that it usually happens with the built in units with no ventilation allowing the temps. to get too high. Phil

Mine are F01 the temp. sensor is opened: F02 is welded element relays: F05 is door or latch problems: F06 is electronic control malfunction. Phil

It is mounted on the back of the oven under the back sheet metal. It will shut down the elements(permanently) in my case. It is about the size of a quarter and about 3/4 in. tall. Has two connectors on it with a red wire in and out. If the temps. get too high between the oven and the sheet metal backing it pops. Cost me $36 from App. Parts Pros and it was $55-60 locally. Mine is a KitchenAid which is Whirlpool I believe. The part is color coded for the shut down temp. Mine was 302 F. Hope this helped you. Let me know. Phil
