Kitchenaid Oven Thermal Fuse Keeps Blowing — How To Fix
Below, we talk about the two possible reasons why your Kitchenaid oven thermal fuse keeps blowing.
1. Cooling Fan
The thermal fuse blows when exposed to high heat. Once the oven turns off after being used, the cooling fan turns on to prevent it from overheating. If the cooling fan fails, the oven will overheat. This can cause the thermal fuse to blow. Read the article “Kitchenaid Oven Fan [Issues & Proven Solutions]” to replace the cooling fan in a Kitchenaid oven and fix some other fan related problems.
2. Control Board
The control board controls all the other components in an oven. If the control board fails, it could cause the thermal fuse to keep blowing no matter how many times you replace it.
