Everything on the control panel looks as though it is working but there is no heat in the oven. When we turn the oven off the fan immediately stops running since there is nothing to cool down. I am fairly handy with repairs, is this something I can do myself?

I wrote about this failure on the Kitchenaid version of your oven in my post Kitchenaid Oven no Heat after Self Clean. The oven needs to be pulled from the cabinetry to access the back panel, but the thermal fuse is easily replaced once you get to it.

It is located behind the rear panel and cuts power to the elements when it opens the circuit. Each oven has one so they can fail independently.
