I think it makes complete sense that even changing the bi-metal didn't correct the problem since something on the board must have over-heated to trip it, as it is designed to do thus preventing something more dramatic from happening. So thanks for your guidance, it really saved me some time and frustration! Larry

Apparently KitchenAid/Whirlpool units are notorious for blowing them out. On our particular model, we had to take the whole "motherboard" off because the fuse was held down by a clip, which could not be accessed from the front. You might also be able to test it in place. Good luck. Unfortunately it wasn't what was wrong with ours, but hopefully yours is that easy of a fix.
