My lovely wife ran the self-cleaning cycle yesterday and now the oven won't heat. Fan makes a slightly funny noise, and online "research" indicates it may be a blown thermal fuse (seems to be a widespread problem w/ Kitchenaid ovens; fuse can't handle the high temps of self-cleaning). I can't find any diagrams online that would enable me to save some money by getting the part and fixing it myself. Can anyone help? Thanks VERY much.

I think that you need a #37 in the drawing, Its the thermal fuse. before ordering one, remove the 2 wires from the fuse,connect the wires together and tape them up. Now try the oven, if it works, replace the fuse!!!! DON'T use the oven without the fuse installed!!!!!!
