Hello. After researching online it looks like it is a common problem to have the thermal fuse on kitchenaid ovens go out during self Cleaning I was able to get the door unclocked by opening the assembly where the control panel is. I cant seem to find the thermal fuse. I think it might be on the back of the oven. Does that mean I have to take the entire oven out of the wall?? There is not power whatsoever to the contol panel. Id like to fix this myself, but I cant find any instructions or diagrams to assist me.

My other thought is to just replace the whole oven with another brnd unit. I know this is not economical, but if this is going to keep happening which it sounds like it does, I am wondering if i should do this. ANY help would be gratly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance.

Ok after working on this all day, I finally got the oven out.. WHEW.. Took off the back panel and removed the TCO. To test if the TCO was bad, I cliped the two wires that were connected to the TCO together and turn the breaker back on. Still nothing happened, no display. I am assuming the display and or micro computer has been fried. My question is connecting these two wires w/o the fuse should work if everything else is operational, right? At this point the cost of the new control assembly is outrageous so Imight just buy a new oven. I just want to make sure it is not the TCO... ANy thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the tech sheet

You will notice that there are 2 fuses in this unit.

I believe the one for the boards power supply is behind the controls on the top of the oven.

The one on the back is just for the elements.
