My self cleaning cycle killed my oven. No panel, no lights, top door locked, didn't throw a breaker. From everything i've read I either need to check the oven shutdown thermal fuse located behind the oven, or the thermal fuse in the control panel?? I am not able to locate this. I keep getting referred to part number 4451354. I don't see anything that looks remotely similar. I really want to know which part i need before i start ordering things that i don't need.
And i promise to respond and leave feedback! :) I know you guys work hard answering questions and don't hear back from people if it worked or not.
Thank you so much!!

Here are your parts
Parts for Whirlpool RBD305PDT12 Wall Oven - AppliancePartsPros.com

See the attachment for the tech sheet

The thermal fuse you refer to is Item 37 in the Lower Oven section.
the upper oven also has a similar device.
i do not think either one is your problem as they only kill power to the elements .

More likely it is the thermal fuse that kills power to the control board, upper left corner of the wiring diagram.

It will be in the control console and will look something like the following.
This is from a different unit as i could not find it in this model's parts breakdown, You will have to call AppliancePartsPros to get the correct replacement if it is blown.
Part number: AP3110028
Part number: AP3110028


Did you try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times?
Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.

Yes, I tried flipping the breaker quite a few times. I don't remember seeing anything like that fuse on my control panel but i'll look again.

it should be in one of the wires going to the control board.

if they used colored heat shrink to cover it, it may just look like a bulge in the wire.

I found something that might be it coming off one of the wires to the control panel. The pic you posted shows an orange plug on both ends of the fuse. The one i see only has it on one end. The other end goes directly to a wire. Is this something that i can change myself? or would it need to be soldered?

Sorry but I cannot really see it in the photo but it does look like one side is soldered in.

I ordered the fuse and it worked! It comes with a plug on both ends but the one in my oven only had a plug on one end. We had to solder the one end. Once it was working it showed the error message that the key pad was not plugged in. It was, the ribbon on it was cracked. So $190 later I installed a new keypad! Now my lower oven works but my upper one doesn't. It says it turns on, starts preheating, but it doesn't get hot. It even makes the noises of turning on, a fan running, but no heat. Any ideas on this one? :)
