Built-in single oven goes pop

Options
Hi

We have a Beko oven OLF 21100W which is 18 months old and worked fine until tonight when it went 'pop' produced a small amount of smoke and will now not work at all. Electrics are fine - the wall switch supplies the oven and separate hob and the hob is still working fine so no blown fuse (also the cooker fuse under the stairs is fine). The oven is under warranty for 2 years so will ring Beko tomorrow but any ideas as to what might have happened?

Many thanks.

    It's likely that the element has blown. They are around £20 to buy and can almost be classed as a consumable. Watch what the engineer does to change it so you can do it when/if it blows again in the future.

    Thanks - I'm just a bit confused that this has stopped everything - ie no oven light or fan working - this model has no clock to check but the oven is as dead as a dodo - would a blown element definitely shut everything down - apologies for querying your answer!

    This points to a failure of the controls (the switches and the thermostat). That could be more complicated to diagnose and fix, though I doubt the parts would be particularly expensive.
