Is this a self-cleaning oven? null

It says it is, but I would recommend you research "blown thermal fuses" on this model. The self clean function can cause the thermal fuses to blow, due to the high heat of self cleaning. This is a design flaw which you need to be aware of. Many people don't find out about this problem until they have an out of warranty repair required for this. There is no "fix" for it, and Kitchenaid has no plans for one. The solution I was given by the factory tech was, "Don't use the self clean function". I had two warranty repairs for this problem and I expect I will have many more repairs necessary over the life of this oven for blown fuses. Fortunately, I can repair this myself, but many can't. It requires fully removing the oven in order to access all fuses.

I had the same problem - I replaced the thermal fuse, but now the over won't heat

My advice - check around for a local appliance store that uses local repair shops for warranty claims. They also probably use a warranty company different than the one used by the big 3 big box stores HomeDepot/Lowes/Bestbuy. I did this & even called one of those repair shops for advice on service history of different brands and confirmed the self-cleaning 'blown thermal fuse' problem.

It's suppose to be,I put it in self clean mose and it set off my smoke alarm and stunk up the house!
