I was self-cleaning the upper oven of my Whirlpool double wall oven when it completely shut down mid-cycle. No display on panel and door is locked, even after cool down. Circuit breaker ok. Heard there is a thermal fuse somewhere behind the oven, but don’t know how to access it (remove oven from wall?). Also, is there any way in the interim to get the door open so I can get the last numbers of the model number? There appears to be 2 different thermal fuse/thermistor part numbers, depending upon the model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can find the complete instructions how to open the control panel and the oven door in one of previous posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/5314-whirlpool-double-wall-oven-dead-after-self-cleaning-cycle-rbd306pd.html
Post the complete model number and we’ll help you with the right part numbers.

Gene, thanks for the link. Removed the control panel, was able to depress the solenoid to open the door and get the model number (RBD275PDB6). Also checked both the control panel thermal fuse and the thermistor on the rear of the oven for continuity per the schematic located in the control panel cavity and both appear to be blown (no continuity). I will replace both, one of which involves removing the oven, and hopefully I will be up and running. Part numbers are AP3008987 and AP3110028. Thanks again
Gene,
I installed both new fuses and everything now works fine. Verified that they were both blown. Over the ten years I have owned the wall oven, I have self-cleaned it many times with no problems until the last time. Do you still recommend not using the self clean cycle? Is it a "hit or miss" as to whether the fused will blow or not?
Hi,
I have the same exact problem mulean had on the same model oven (RBD275PDB6), and I want to order parts to try to fix it.
Mulean mentions that he replaced parts AP3008987 and AP3110028.
Apparently there is another fuse for this oven - AP3133249 - do you suggest that I replace this part as well?
Thanks for any help!

This thermal fuse is for the lower oven only.

Thanks Gene - would you suggest that I order both the parts that mulean replaced (thermostat and fuse) … or just 3110028 for starters?

If the upper oven is not heating and the display is blank, then you need them both. If the problem is just the upper oven not heating, then the thermostat [part]AP3008987[/part]
should be enough.
If the display is blank and you do not know if the oven will heat, order both the fuse [part]AP3110028[/part]
and the thermostat.

We have a single oven whirlpool and had the same problem with the self clean. Electronic controls are dead, door won’t open. Can’t find fuses? If they are inside the door, that doesn;t help us…door is locked.
Aagh!
I have Whirlpool Double wall oven GBD307 which stopped working after self clean cycle. There was no display and the upper door oven door was locked. After reading many posts on internet including at this site, I purchased and replaced both the thermal fuses parts from appliancepartspros - AP3885687 Thermal overload (for upper oven) and AP3110028 Thermal Fuse (for control panel). After changing both the fuse when I turned the circuit breaker… there is burning smell coming from the control panel. Needless to say, there is still no display and door is locked. :mad:
There was no smell coming from control panel with circuit breaker ON before changing the fuses.
Any Pros suggestion is welcome on what could have gone wrong. or how to fix the next issue.
The link above that explains how to open the door no longer works. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
