Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Thermal Fuse by Whirlpool

Hello Ike, I was able to pull up a KEBS177BBL0. If this is the correct model number, the most probable cause of the unit still being dead is the main control board 3181703. While it is possible to open the thermal cutoff, these are normally opened by high temperatures. You can check for power at terminals P3-1, P10-7, P10-8, P8-4, and P9-1. There should be 120Vac on each of these in reference to ground or neutral. I'm sorry but this part 3181703 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. We would recommend contacting a company such as Corecentric Solutions 866-737-2244 corecentricsolutions.com and ask if they support board 3181703. You should also check the door lock assembly 3178410 since L2 has to be passed through the switch on it for the unit to operate properly.
