Oven isn't getting hot at all. Leisure Alta?

We've had our oven for around 5 years and it's just stopped working.

It was on for 5-10 minutes before something went and the electric tripped off in the house.

When it came back on the fan, hob, grill and light is working but there's no heat at all coming with the fan.

Can some on point me in the direction of a fix and what I'm likely to need to buy? I'm thinking the filament but would like your advise.

Thank you

turn power off to the oven remove all trays look at the rear of the oven inside,there may be 4 or 2 screws holding the heater plate in postion,remove these you will see the element,some times these can be removed from inside the oven ,(2 screws)some times there are two screws with a nut and bolt if nut and bolt fixture you need to remove the back of the oven,most elements have one or two screws holding them to the back of the oven too,this will be self evident when you remove the cover,if the element is held inplace with self tappers,just undo them and carefully withdraw the element you will see the wires in the spade terminals,get a new element and fit wires to the spade terminals,its a very simple job,but one thing when you turn on the oven for the first time you will get a bit of smoke,this is normal ,so don't panic
