Try pulling out the bottom drawer. Also take the burners loose and raise top, look in there.
In the oven you can pull out heating element, then lift out the bottom plate. Might find the little critter in there.
Good Luck!

You may just have to get down on your knees and give the oven the most thorough cleaning you can. They turn it on, open the windows and doors and let it bake for awhile. If these steps don't take care of the problem, you may have to sell it or give it away and get another stove.

Well, if you've turned it on, I can guarantee that it isn't mice that's making it smell. Burning mice, maybe...
I bet a lot of it just has to do with the metal "breaking in" so to speak. I'd just cut it on for a few hours.

I would pull your oven out of the wall, disconnect it...clean it out, look into every crevice noticeable...inside and out.
Cleaning the inside with oven cleaner might help...but i doubt it will solve the problem. Something is somewhere in there...
If the place is still open that you bought it from...I would give it back!

Did you attempt removing the mice from the insulation? i'd say as quickly as the bodies "dry" the scent would be decreased. yet for sanitary applications, I say eliminate the bodies or get yet another range.

why don't you add a new smell, called "oven cleaner". It smells so bad it will cover the mice smell.

Yeah, throw that mice filled feces trap out your front door before you start having cat problems
