Sorry, I thought I had included the full number. It is:
SVD48600B

The serial number is:
12617885SD

My wife was surfing around and she came up with the idea of a fuse from some page she found. I found a wiring diagram behind the removable front cover at the bottom of the oven (where you gain access to the drip jar, serial number, etc.) but it mainly covers the fault codes.

Edit : I assume that since certain functions of the over still work that it's not the circuit breaker that is at fault; my assumption is that it's an all or nothing thing. The breakers are a double 40A. Is it possible for one of the breakers to be busted so only half the oven works i.e. the top bake element and not the bottom one? I don't know if they are on separate circuits so my question could be a little silly.

Edit 2 : I contacted MayTag and they took all my details. There is no fuse in this unit (sounds like it might be a good idea though). This means, in my opinion, it is likely the control board. These run for about $200-$300 bucks plus the service / labour fee. The unit is over 9 years old. Does anyone have a professional opinion on the best next step i.e. repair or replace? Pretend money isn't an issue, I just want to know what is the best action to take. I'm pretty handy and I think I can probably change the relay board myself but since I've never been behind the overn before I cannot be 100%. Thanks.

By the way, I am not seeing any error codes (FC-n) reported which makes me wonder if the relay board is buggered at all.
