Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
PL Sorry, My oven is doing the same thing after running the cleaning cycle. Have you found any help yet?

Same here, KitchenAid KEBC207KWHO, made by Whirlpool; after lots of work, problem, encountered by many, is probably the thermal fuse behind the control panel, Part AP3777386 (under $20 with regular shipping). Pain to pull out oven but doable. Another frequent failer is the second thermal fuse or disc at the back of the top oven (need to remove the top back shield); this just kills one or both burners not the entire unit, I understand (had this problem 18 months ago); Part No. AP 3879224 replacing 4452223, $35 w/o shipping; Noticed one of the suppressor terminals was blackened so ordered it too out of caution; back of top of oven, Part No. 3192767. Only part number not observable on the actual part was the thermal fuse behind control panel; it is encased in clear plastic, no part number printed on it.
Many suggest not using the self cleaning feature. Helluva lot easier to manually clean than to pull the oven out and agonize.

.......
Only part number not observable on the actual part was the thermal fuse behind control panel; it is encased in clear plastic, no part number printed on it. Because I saved the manual, I know that I've one of the following models: KEBI276D/101D/141D/171D & having the same problem described in these posts. Oven died during self-cleaning & breakers are okay. I pulled out the Control Panel, but I cannot unlock the top door since there is another plastic panel between the control panel & the top oven. I removed 2 screws on it, but there are 2 more screws that are not reachable while the top door is closed! So I cannot tell you what my model number is exactly. HELP! I can see the P4 fuse behind the control panel. How do I tell whether it's gone bad or not? Many Thanks in advance to ALL, esp Gene.

If the oven is completely dead, then the fuse behind the control panel is almost certainly the culprit; it was in my case but by inspecting it I could not determine that is was blown.
I had to pull the oven out and fiddle with the upper door latch to get the door to open, allowing me to see the model number label.
Out of caution I replaced the second, disc fuse on the back of the oven, as well as a part called a suppressor that had blackend (burnt) connections.
I also had to replace the upper door latch; had a tough time as the location of the two sets of side connections are switched. Would ask for the wiring harness and a diagram if I ever had to replace it again; hopefully it might come pre-wired, only needing to be plugged into the control panel.

I have a Kitchaid Superba Mod: KEBC147KSS05 SER: XS4209882
This is the second time my oven has stopped working after self-cleaning feature used. The first time, the repairman blamed it on my not using the self-cleaning feature enough. The first time, it was an expensive repair, just over a year ago.
This time, I did a search and discovered this is a wide-spread problem.
I just spoke to the repairman. He states the blower and thermostat need replacing and that parts alone will be $340.15. After reading on this site, it looks like it is a fuse that causes the problem???
I won't use the self-cleaning feature again but don't want to have him repair the wrong thing. My husband is pretty handy so I may see if he wants to do this repair.....

If the control panel is completely dead, the thermal fuse is probably blown. Certainly would be the first thing to try as it is $11 or so plus shipping, and your husband can surely replace it.

Control panel is not completely dead....it says "Lo" and I hear a fan but it does not warm up.

Then I would change the thermal fuse or disc on the very back of the oven. $35 plus shipping, and of course a lot of work to get the oven all the way out so you can make the change. Kill the power of course while doing the change. If that doesn't do it, then you may have to call a "technician". Good luck.
