We were unable to find anything on the back of our Amana (Maytag) AER5735QAS that looked like a fuse.
After a power outage, the stove top continued to work fine, but the oven (and all the oven controls) failed to work. We read that it might be a fuse. Not finding any fuses, we unplugged and replugged each of the little wires from their white connecting boxes in back. (My plumber husband says that often works with water heaters).
We just turned the range back on and it worked (back is off, oven away from the wall). Is it a miracle? Or some electrical oddity?
We're now re-assembling the back (power off) and hoping for the best once we push it back to the wall and turn it back on.

Generally behind the back panel, some models use a fusible link rather than a glass/wire fuse, un less you know what it looks like you will need a multimeter to check for continuity till you locate it.
Could be the fuse in the back turn off the power and trace the wiring with a multimeter, when you stop getting continuity there is the fuse.
Good luck Ray
If the heating element cycles off and on, it's probably not the problem but a thermostat or high limit. The thermostat should have a sensor wire, a part for sensing temperature and should not be placed or located anywhere near the heating element.
Has it ever worked since the power outage? Have you tried unplugging it for about an hour and then plugging it back in. Sometimes that can reset the control board and solve your problem. I alway like to try the simplest things first.
my control panel doesn't light up for both ovens and the clock too. The porclain stove top all five panel do work... could i have blown a fuses? in the oven its self .
Found this under GE instead of Maytag, but can answer for you here.
It may be the internal fuse, but more likely it is the thermostat on the magnetron.
