It is located behind the key panel. UNPLUG THE UNIT FIRST.
Remove top grill (2 sinked screws on top)
Now remove the single screw on top of the key panel. Barefully slide out the keypad up and out. The smart people of kitchenaid put the dang fuse jammed between the fan housing and the right wall. Remove the entire bottom plate that holds the lights and such... I think 8 screws. Now remove 2 screws that hold down the fan housing. Now you going to have to use a screw driver and some wiggling to move the plastic housing out of the way enough to pop and slide out the fuse and replace. To test you can use a continuity tester and place it between the fuse. There is nothing visible on this fuse (250Volt 20A fuse Fast Acting I think) e.g. you can't see that the fuse is broken or not. Make sure no wires are pinched while putting it all back.
Spot on instructions. Why they made it such a pain to get to a fuse who knows. See this picture for an idea of where the fuse is, and how to shimmy the fan assembly out of the way once you remove everything per the instructions above. Least I could do was provide a picture for the help. I ordered the new 20am fuse from Home Depot, they have them on Amazon as well.
Oh and there are 3 screws for the fan assembly, at least there was on mine. I didn't fully remove the fan assembly as I was able to shift it enough to get to the fuse holder.
