Tested the control panel thermal fuse and it appears to have blown. I was told the fuse only comes as part of the main wire harness (4455737) but has been discontinued. I have searched the internet for 2 days trying to find someone that carries the fuse or the wire harness with no luck. I have seen other, similar fuses out there but they claim to not be compatible with my model. Are there any alternate fuses out there that I can use as a safe substitute? I really don't want to have to buy a new oven simply because I can't find a $15 part to fix it... :mad:

As far as I know this unit only has 3 thermal fuses. The first two kill power to the elements (item 37 in sections 01 and 02. The third kills power to the control board (item 19 in section 07) I think this is the one you need. Be sure that the blower is working properly.

The thermal fuse I need is connected to the main wire harness and connects to the back of the control panel. It is a long thin fuse that looks similar to this one (but this ones states it is not compatible with my model): Whirlpool 4456654 Oven Thermal Fuse - AppliancePartsPros.com For my model, I was also told that I cannot buy the fuse itself, that it only comes as part of the main wire harness: Whirlpool 4455737 Main Wire Harness - AppliancePartsPros.com The frustrating part is that the wire harness is discontinued and I haven't been able to find it sold anywhere. I am trying to find out if there is another similar fuse I can use as a suitable/alternate replacement that is compatible with my make/model. PS - blower works fine, I just replaced it about a year ago.

Then use them to search the net. You may be able to find just the fuse and then will have to crimp it into the harness
