Electric Oven's not heating up

I used the oven last Thusday, and everything was fine.

When I turned it on today to reheat a Pizza, it decided not to work at all.

The fan and inside light work fine, but the thermostat light was OFF, it flashed very vaguely when the oven's switched between grill and oven etc. The oven is fairly new and it's been rarely used..

I just need to be sure it's not me doing something stupidly before calling people in.

Any help is appreciated!

    Not got it set to automatic?
    Element failed most probably, or the 'stat.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Our element failed recently (fan oven) and I just sourced the correct element from eBay for around £10 and DH fitted it in 15 minutes or so - not a difficult job.
