I had the same thing happen...6 weeks ago I had to replace the control board on my 4 year old double whirlpool oven. Now, during self cleaning it completely shut down. Called Mr. repairman again, he came out today nad said it's now the thermal fuse, but we are supposed to replace the entire wiring harness when that happens. Is that true? It's apparently a price difference of $100 for thermal fuse or 350 for wiring harness. can I just do the thermal fuse?

Otherwise it is not too difficult to replace the shutdown fuse (thermostat) on the rear panel. - The part number for the control panel thermal fuse is AP3110028 - The part number for the upper oven shutdown fuse is AP3885687 (it has been changed by the manufacturer). Gene. Hi Gene, I have whirlpool double oven model RBD275PDB12 and I ordered the thermal fuse for the control panel and one side of the connector is too small. Is it wise to replace the connector end with the correct size? Chack out the picture the newer fuse is clear and the left side is smaller than the original. Any help is appreciated. thermal fuse picture by bigdog611 - Photobucketart art

The problem is Whirlpool does not make any other fuses, just this one Part number: AP3110028
and the other fuse Part number: AP3777386
One end of the fuse plugs into the control board and there is not much what you can do with the control board terminal. Use the bigger fuse terminal for this connection. There is a wire which connects to the other end of the fuse, using a male wire terminal. You can easy replace this wire terminal with a smaller size. Gene.
