How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6014016 / WP9759243 Wall Oven Thermal Fuse

It was a breeze, once I got the oven out from the wall. I diagnosed the issue on-line, pulled out the oven and took the back off, tested the wires to fuse and decided that was the issue. Once I received the part, the wires just slide right on! The hardest part was getting the back of the oven back on! 

First I found the part on appliance partspros.com and then I used YouTube to find the right teaching video. Thereafter it was amazing how easy it actually was to change my thermal fuse in my whirlpool oven, which has been broken for about four years believe it or not. The service technician quoted me $175 or higher to replace the fuse which was most likely the problem. My 15 year old son and I watched the video and accomplished the repair in about 45 minutes. Thank you so much! 

I replaced the thermal fuse in back of oven and now it is back working again 

Thank you you tube. Helped me diagnose that it was the thermal overload. Basically shut the breaker off, 4 screws to remove the molding, two more to detach the oven from the wall. Since I was by myself for the repair, set up a platform on two saw horses, and slid the stove onto it. Worked perfect. Removed the back panel, about 8 screws. Unplugged the two wires plugging into the thermal overload, and removed the part...two more screws. Installed the new part, and reassembled everything. Slid oven back in, and put the molding back on. Turned power (breaker) on, and it worked!! Total repair time 30 minutes.

First, I called whirlpool for technical support. They were absolutely no help whatsoever, except to refer me to repair man, which sounded like it was going to be about $250. I decided to try to fix it myself... it couldn't be that complicated, right? I ordered a thermal protection fuse from appliance parts pros, I received it in 2 days and it only took about 20 minutes to install. I flipped the breaker, and voila(!) my oven works! 

I replaced the thermal overload fuse. It was located behind the access panel on the back of the oven. 

This part worked perfectly. It was just the thermal fuse on the back of the oven. The hard part was pulling the oven out of the wall, but still easy overall.
