Either the element, the thermostat or safety cut-out are defective. You'll need a multi-meter or simple continuity tester to find out which.

Trev,

they have a fan assembly that blows air over a heating element - warm air comes out - if the heating element is broken only cold air will come out - your heater very probably has a broken heating element.

Repair may well be not cost effective - fan heaters are relatively cheap and very efficient.

Good luck...
