OVEN will not heat

We have a KithchenAid Superba model # KEBC107KSSO, oven that has the same problem. The oven is five years old, my wife cleaned the oven for the first time and eveything works, but will not heat.

Same problem here. We have a year old KEBC107KSS05, which functioned properly, including cleaning 4-5 times, while under warranty. Last week, after cleaning, this problem occurred. The manufacturer seems to have the problem fixed well enough to get through the one year warranty period. Same problem here.

After using the self cleaning feature my oven won't heat up. After using the self cleaning feature my oven won't heat up.

I have a KitchenAid Architect Series KEBC107KSS, same exact problem. After using the self cleaning feature for the second or third time, the oven will not heat. All the electrical panels seem to be operating. Since it is 1 and 1/2 years old it is out of warranty. I will have to pick up the service charges and KitchenAid claims that they will pick up certain parts. How can we fix this ourselves?

KitchenAid oven won't heat after using the self cleaning feature. Oven is only 1and 1/2 years old. Supposed-idly not covered under warranty anymore. KitchenAid oven won't heat after using the self cleaning feature. Oven is only 1and 1/2 years old. Supposed-idly not covered under warranty anymore.

I have the same problem - it occurred twice under the 1st years warranty. So on the last trip, I had the warranty renewed for 2 years.



The repairman told me to have holes drilled in the cabinet around the built in oven - so I did, to open all cabinet doors while cleaning, and put a fan blowing in. Now I am running a test. I will see what happens. [email protected]

I wish we had searched for problems before buying this oven. I just cleaned it for the first time, and have the exact same problem. No heat, but everything else works. Sounds like I'll have to call a repair man on Monday.



I wonder how many other people who haven't gone on line have the same problem. I wish we had searched for problems before buying this oven.

I have the KitchenAid Superba single oven. I've already replaced the thermostat after using the self clean. That repair man said "it may or may not happen again." I just self cleaned again, and the same thing happened. This time, the repair man was more knowledgeable. He said he contacted the local Whirlpool rep who had a kit to fix the problem. It would cost me $370 for the kit and labor. I'm trying to get through to KitchenAid for them to pay for the kit, since its their defect. When I called KitchenAid HQ they said they have no record of the self clean/heating being a problem, and couldn't find the kit. So much for Quality and Service. I need to contact a higher authority.

I contaced the Whirlpool CEO and VP North America via e-mail. Voila! They are sending the parts and are sending out an authorized repair service. They said its not a recall, because its not a widespread problem. But, it does happen. Sometimes its the oven, sometimes its the insulation/cabinetry. I'm just glad its getting fixed... free of charge this time. I contaced the Whirlpool CEO and VP North America via e-mail. Voila!

I have cleaned my Kitchenaid electric oven model KEBC177KSS05 three times since April 2007 (when it was purchased) and every time I've had to call Kitcheaid customer service for repair because it will no longer heat after the cleaning cycle is complete. I've just written them asking for the oven to be replaced as I believe it is a lemon. I don't feel they will repalce it and will be forced to purchase an extended warrenty to avoid costly repairs because I know it will happen again after the original warranty expires. The inconveninece of not having the oven for family dinners (Thanksgiving 07 and Easter 08) is very frustrating, not to mention all the time required to call and schedule a repair then take half a day off work while the repair is made.

I put my oven through the self-clean cycle for 2:30 hours and now it won't heat - when i called the dealer and Whirlpool service to tell them it seems to be a widepsread issue with these ovens they told me not to "jump to conclusions." My model is a built in wall oven.

We have the same issue.  We are having it fixed by a repair person.  You think they would have a recall or something.  We have the same issue.  We are having it fixed by a repair person.  You think they would have a recall or something. 

Slow to heat up- KEBC107KSS0 KITCHEN AID SUPERBA, it does reach cooking temp but it takes such a long time. Does anyone have the same issue?  Slow to heat up- KEBC107KSS0 KITCHEN AID SUPERBA, it does reach cooking temp but it takes such a long time. Does anyone have the same issue? 

Well, I thought I was alone, but it looks like Kitchen Aide needs to do a RECALL regarding their self cleaning ovens.  I am surprised I was not notified about the oven not working after using the self cleaning cycle.  I cleaned the oven three weeks ago and came home to bake a pizza.  Guess what?  The darn thing did not heat!!!  I stayed there trying every option to get heat and to no avail...it never did!!!  So, enter the Internet ( a wonderful thing when you need to check on a product).  I can't believe all of the complaints.  I will call Kitchen Aide in the morning.  My oven is still under warranty for PARTS only.  I will fight them to pick up the labor charges as well. If they don't, I'll take them to court and print out all of the Internet complaints.  Thanks for posting your comments.  I really appreciate it.  Now, I have something to go on.

Has anyone had any success with a recall order????

first time after we used selfcleaning oven quit to work. everything else is working fine first time after we used selfcleaning oven quit to work. everything else is working fine

I too am in the middle of the same problem. I used the self cleaning feature one time and tried to use the oven afterwards...no heat. I am now without an oven as I wait for the service company to get a thermal fuse which hopefully will solve the problem, $200 later. Kitchenaid really needs to address this problem or I and everyone else I tell about this mess will never buy another Kitchenaid product. I too am in the middle of the same problem.

Same issue. Turned the self cleaning on; after that no heat. Unit was still under warranty so thankfully there was no charge. Same model KEBC107KSS05.

same issue as others - not heating after running the self clean cycle.



I read somewhere that the thermal fuse can be checked ( open or closed circuit). Which should it be if the fuse is kaputt? same issue as others - not heating after running the self clean cycle.

I'm having the same problem of the oven not heating after the clean cycle has been on...I say we push Kitchen-aid to recall this oven!

We have had the same problem every time we try to have the oven self-clean. KitchenAid offered 50% discount on the part (probably around $30 or $40) or 20% off a NEW oven (which costs around $1700 or so), but takes no responsibility for the manufacturing defect. If we all band together and get a good lawyer, we can initiate a class action law suit that will force KitchenAid to accept responsibility and fix the recurring problem once and for all, not only for us, but for the many others out there who have not complained in this forum.

Same problem -- no heat after a self-clean cycle, although I suppose we were lucky and it happened after the 4th time using the self-clean cycle. Appreciate the link for the part to fix! Will save us a bundle not having to call a repairman. Wish Whirlpool would take responsibility, though, since this seems to be happening a lot to just about everyone with this oven.

on halloween with 3o folks coming over, my wife used the self clean that day. Same results no heat. on halloween with 3o folks coming over, my wife used the self clean that day. Same results no heat.

I also have the KitchenAid Superba built-in convection ovens. Thermo fuse blew the first time I used the self clean feature. The part is a special order and will take several weeks to get. I will be bridging the fuse with a piece of wire. I also have looked into finding a dryer or dishwasher thermal fuse as a replacement. Apparently, the OEM fuse goes after 130°C. I will try and look for one around 160°C to replace it. I have not heard of any upgrade suggestions whether it be the fan or the thermostat which is may be causing the issue.

Here we are, Thanksgiving day, and I have the same problem with my Kitchenaid convection oven Model # KEBC177KSS03. Used the self-clean feature yesterday, now today, everything seems to be working (light, displays, fan, etc.) but no heat. Have tried turning the breaker off & on. Nothing. Nada. No turkey for us today...

Pretty much exactly what the original poster said. No heat after self-cleaning cycle.

Every time I use the Self Clean the thermostat blows and I can't use my oven. It is no longer under warranty. I've had to replace it 4 times already. Do I give up? I could have bought a new oven with the price of repair. I guess I'll be scrubbing the inside my self, a $50 clean job isn't worth it. This should have been recalled, after seeing how many people have the exact same problem.

I am shocked at all of these threads...and nothing from Kitchenaid. I
too have the Model KEBC107KSS and have had it for 5 years - last month
(Dec. 9, 2008). We thankfully purchased an extended warranty plan and
so each time (4 times) this particular instance happened they (store we
purchased item from) sent out a repairman to get it fixed - no cost to
us. Now a month after our warranty expires we did a 'self-clean' and
BAM no more heat. The store said that we should try to contact
Kitchenaid - but when I did they refused to admit that there was an
issue and said, 'since your appliance is so old there is nothing we can
do but offer you a 15% discount on the purchase of a new item." are you
kidding me? 'so old'???? I didn't realize that 5 years was old for an
appliance! Needless to say, we are back to square one - no oven, no
warranty - and a repairman scheduled to come and fix. I am hoping that
we can try Joed5555's fix and not have to pay the money for someone to
come out. What happened to Customer Service?

Same problem, fixed by Kitchenaid under warranty the first time, now I'm out of warranty and they told me to "Have a nice day!". They wouldn't help me on the part or anything, and this was talking to a manager. Picked up the part locally which apparently has a new part number now - hopefully it works better. Part number used to be 4452223 and is now 9759242. Cost me $62 CAD. I will never buy another Kitchenaid product. Their service was terrible and rude. I had much better service with my cheapo Fridgedair appliances in my last house. I'm going to try to fix it tonight. Thanks everyone for posting, it really is a great help. John

Wish I read this before I replaced the element and the oven thermo-sensor. I have the same exact problem on a KEBC107KSS0. I'm going to remove the oven from the wall tonight and check the thermo fuse.

Anyone have a source for P/N 0759242?

I also have the same problem. This is the second time the fuse goes dead. Today, a repair man came. He told me I should make more clearance behind the oven to help. Of course I followed KitchenAids instructions when I installed and even added an extra safety inch.



I refused to pay the repair man. He did not insist, saying he understands me. He is not working for KitchenAid (which is in fact Whirlpool) as they are all independant contractors on Whirlpool call list.



More to come.

Same old story....used the self-cleaning oven...BAM! Repairman said the thermofuses were designed to work at sea-level. Ovens that go to higher elevations do this. He repairs a lot of them, not just Kitchen Aid. Same old story....used the self-cleaning oven...BAM! Repairman said the thermofuses were designed to work at sea-level.
