What is the thermostat neon doing? Is it staying on, or not on at all? If it stays on then the element has failed. If it is not on at all, then it could be that the element has failed and taken out the thermostat as well. If the neon is not on at all, it could also mean that the thermostat has failed by itself. If it is either of the two or both, the oven will have to come out of the kitchen carcas to replace the components. As a general rule, if the element fails you should replace the thermostat as well as the element failing can cause abnormal stress of the thermostat contacts, which then could fail at a later date. The handbook has the wiring diagrams in, so if you can find a tame electrician, he should be able to test and see what has failed before you buy anything. Try espares for parts.

I suspect that the oven element has failed, to check this, remove cover at rear of oven compartment, there you will see the round oven element, it should feel hot after turning oven on to heat, if it is cold, replace it.
You can try espares. If it is not listed, there is normally a help section where you can send in a request. You will need the model number as well to ensure you obtain the right version. (It could be something like 059040415).
If you want to check what the oven is doing before buying the new parts, Lakeland do a reasonably priced oven thermometer, I think about 4 or 5 pounds to see what temperatures it is reaching. Also check the thermostat sensor. It is the long thin cylinder in the top right hand corner of the oven. It should be clean as a whistle and not covered in grease gunge etc. If it is, this could cause incorrect readings. Don't attempt to clean it manually as it is quite fragile, especially the connecting wire. Leave the sensor in situ and use a paste on oven cleaner which really works ( from Lakeland) and follow the instructions. it should come up bright and shiny. Best of luck.

No, there is no reset button. However, the grill will only work when the front is down as there is a microswitch which operates to provide connectivity when it is in this position. This is to stop the grill overheating. The switch could have gone faulty.
Does the top oven work ok?
When you operate the grill there are two options, part or full. Are they both failing? Does the cooling fan switch on when either grill is operated?
There are thermal cutouts for both ovens. When the fan oven cuts out, does the thermostat display and the oven lamps go out as well or do they stay on? Is the oven cooling fan working ok, i.e. does it run for about 10 mins after you turn all the controls off? Do you think the oven thermostat is working ok and not running too hot? If it is, Lakeland do an oven thermometer for about 5 pounds that you can check the thermostats with.
I have a copy of a STOVES 720EF Manual (including wiring info) posted on BT Digital Vault. Supply an email address and I will give you access to take a copy.
