Open fuse can “kill” Whirlpool and KitchenAid electric wall ovens. Easy to fix!

Dead Whirlpool/KitchenAid oven? Blank display, no beeping, nothing…

This happens too often, and it can be the result of one of a few different parts of the oven failing.  A frequent conclusion is that the control board is faulty, but there is often an open fuse in line with power to the control board, which can have the same effect.

The typical control board in question is shown below.

Whirlpool Control Board 4452242 – front

Whirlpool Control Board 4452242 – back

Whirlpool Thermal Fuse WP4451042

To check the fuse, cut power to the oven at the breaker and expose the control board behind the panel.  Refer to this post if you need help accessing the control board.

Use an ohmmeter to check for continuity through the fuse.  If you don’t know how to do that, refer to this instructional video from RepairClinic.

If the fuse is good, but the control board still won’t light up when power is applied to the oven, it needs to be repaired.

We fix these boards for $120.00 and they come backed by a one-year warranty.  Head to ApplianceBoardRepair.com, enter your information, and get a shipping label in less than five minutes!
