Oven Tripped From 350 Degrees To Broil.
I set my oven (model # kdrp407hss) to 350 degrees & the beeper went off at that temperature. I returned to the kitchen 1 hour later & the oven somehow switched to broil! The code on the temp indicator read f-2 or f-20 the oven was red hot and the door would not open. All dials did not work. We had to turn the fuse off to shut down the oven. Repair technician checked it out & said they don't make that part anymore! Any ideas out there or must we cave in & buy new

The thermal fuse does NOT break from pulling too much power. The thermal fuse breaks from getting too hot. Generally this is due to self cleaning or possibly from the cooling fan not running up to speed. It has absolutely nothing to do with drawing higher current from the heating elements. If you just ran self clean, be sure to change the cleaning cycle time to 2:30 and that should solve the problem in the future. If you didn't self clean, did you leave the door cracked open when broiling? Older ovens you can do this, but you can not do this on new wall ovens. Other than that, the only thing left is to bypass the fuse and see if the broil element or bake element are sticking on way past the temperature you've selected (such as 350 degrees). If they are shutting off appropriately, you need to replace the cooling fan due to not spinning as fast as it should.
