Before the bottom oven stopped working it was making a humming noise for about 2 weeks prior. No bang or loud noise associated with the failure, just realised half way through cooking nothing was happening! Not sure of cooker's age as recently moved in to this property.
You can check the element, just get a volt ohm meter, set to ohm's and make sure it shows a short, otherwise you have an open or bad element.

If the elements 'look' okay, they probably are. The 'infinite control switch' is probably the problem. With out the use of a meter, it's guess work. Unless you can see a connection problem.

Sounds like the element has internally shorted to earth and will have to be replaced by a qualified Techo.
While this may have caused a fright...think how lucky you are that the Safety Switch was invented as a fail safe lifesaver!

The power to the fan and thermostat is the fault. You will need to trace wiring from these elements to power source and I suspect that where the power cord meets the oven is where you'll find the cause.

Hi.
Frpm the sympton's you list, I would say that the main oven element has failed, espsecially if the fan is working o/k.
The element is located at the rear of the oven compartment behind a removeable cover.
In addition to the grill elements in the top oven compartment, there is an additional base element which you can't see.
If you turn the top oven on, the base of the compartment should get hot, if it does not, then the base element has probably failed.
Hope this helps.

You need to replace the oven element,, located at the rear of the bottom oven compartment behind a removeable panel.
