Jeff M Redding , CA October 05, 2015 Appliance: Model KITCHENAID WALL OVEN Bad circuit board and thermal fuse Like a boss! Seriously, removed oven from wall (2 screws), removed about 15 sheet metal screws from front and top covers, unplugged wire harnesses one (or a few) at a time. Reassembled. Hint. Take a picture of wiring before removing and mark old parts (especially thermal fuse) with sharpie before removing so you don't get confused. It's really hard to tell a used electrical part from a new one. Read More... 8 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
John O Santa Fe , NM January 10, 2022 Appliance: KitchenAid 27" Built-In Electric Combo Oven Thermal Convection KEMS378SSS02 Thermal fuse failed after self clean cycle (see video on website). My Kitchenaid combo slide-in oven (KEMS378SSS02) weighs 230 pounds, and the fuse is located in the back. I bought 4 RV leveling jacks and placed under a scrap 30"x48" 3/4" plywood surface I bolted to the cabinet wall on end to stabilize lateral movement, 3/4" below the bottom of the oven. I removed the oven door and 4 mounting screws, and using five cut pieces 30" long of 1/2" EMT conduit as rollers, I flipped off the breaker, and pulled the oven out of the wall. Using the APP website, I located the part and removed the top back oven panel to access the part. After replacing the part, I flipped on the breaker to test...all good and shut back off. I reassembled and rolled the oven back into place. Read More... 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Rick P Findlay , OH April 22, 2015 Appliance: KitchenAid 30" Built-In Electric Single Oven KEBK101SSS02 The oven wouldn't heat after doing a self clean operation After doing some online research and reading what others had posted regarding similar problems, I ordered the fuse from AppliancePartsPro.com. Shipping was extremely fast, (2 days), replaced the bad fuse with the new one and the oven is back to working properly again. The repair was easy to complete. Saved a lot of money by doing the repair myself. Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Lance O Valley Village , CA October 30, 2021 Appliance: KitchenAid 30" Built-In Electric Single Oven Thermal Convection KEBS107SSS02 Neither of the heating elements would provide any heat. I replaced the thermal fuse. Pulled the oven out of the cabinet, removed the rear panel and top panel. Found the fuse. It was a fairly easy job. I didn't need to remove the rear panel but didn't know that. Just remove the top panel. Locate the fuse -- It's on the back left inside a small recess. Pull the cables off gently. Have a medium size (6"-8") Philips screwdriver to reach the fuse - two screws. Replace the cables, attach the panel -- actually had a moment with this. The sheet metal got bent on a hanging screw near the front of the oven. Had to bend it straight with some pliers. Place the oven back into the cabinet, put the door on, screws, and flip the breaker back on. It heated up right away. Read More...
