my oven died durring a "self-clean" and now the upper door is locked closed. can I replace the thermal fuse with a locked upper door? I presume I will need to replace the thermal fuse located behind the control panel.

The thermal fuse on the backside . You need to pull the oven, and then take the top back panel off to get to it. Actually you can jump it out, to get the door open. You will need to replace it, and the upper oven sensor, because it blew the fuse, because it got to hot. If you don't replace the sensor, it will happen again.

What is shown on the display? In order to unlatch the upper oven door you have to: Open the lower oven door. Remove the bottom screw from each of the two side trims. Pull the bottom of the side trim out for about 2" and slide the top down to free it from the control panel. Unscrew the screw on each side of the control panel. Pull the bottom of the control panel out and push it up to release it from the oven cabinet supports. Label all wires and plugs at the control board. Disconnect them and set the panel face down on a padded surface to protect the finish. Push in the latch solenoid plunger and move the latch hook to unlatch the door. The further troubleshooting depends on what is shown on the oven display and the condition of the door latch.

Thanks for the suggestions.... my control panel is completeley blank, it appears that there is no power to it... could the problem just be the fuse behind the control panel and not the "thermal fuse" in the back of the oven? My dear husband does not want to pull the whole oven:)

If we are betting money on this, I would say my diagnosis is spot on. Tell Papa, the pull the oven, and jump out the T'stat, and see if the board comes back to life. If so, follow the instructions I first gave. Ok, Denman, and Gene, let the betting begin!!! LOL!!! It must be nice to have three proffessional helping you out. Gene, Denman, Happy New Year!!!

The control panel thermal fuse can be checked for continuity as soon as you open the control panel. You can check the oven shutdown thermal fuse, which is located on the back of the oven, from the control panel as well. Check for continuity between the P6-3 or P6-4 red wires on the control board and the red wire at the terminal block. - The control panel thermal fuse Part number: AP3110028
