always turn the power off first , you will need a flash light look carefully around the bottom element , I think it has burned out on you , it will have a bump or burned spot on it or may even be broken off , this is bery easy to replace and cheep if you find it is burned or broken off email all info on oven make, model, serial number I will locate the part and tell you how to replace it Have a nice day !
The grill element should not 'blow' by just touching it - it should be earthed. The elements do gradually disintegrate over time & the inside wire element either fractures or touches the element casing causing the mains to trip. Sometimes this makes it trip just once & then stops working. Replace the element - not usually any fuse in circuit with this. Often held in by 2 screws adjacent to the element at back of oven and conections via Fast-ons- Rick
ISOLATE MAINS POWER BEFORE OPENING SIDE AND REAR PANELS.
The grill and top oven have as discribed in the manual a temp regulator it is mounted on the side or rear chassis, this is probabily blown, they are normaly connected, when the devise goes faulty it stays open circuit, there are letters and numbers on this, take a note of them if you can read it. go to a local electrical store with the component, you should get a replacement, if however you have a multimeter, measure across the terminals with the meter on resistance, if no continuity, or contiunity to the case, the component is faulty. If however the component checks out working go to timers and remove the time on the auto timer for the top oven, visualy check the elements if the element have Black Grey spot, replace as it has blown, you can get spares at relativly low price you will need model and serial number of the appliance, from whitegoods.co.uk

If the element and the indicator light both stopped working this suggests a problem with the power supply for the grill control. Either the grill control has no power going to it or it is faulty and requires replacement. If you are not sure what you are doing you'd better get a tech. to look at it, it can be fairly complicated for the untrained person.
The hob is normally totally independent of the oven. What is actually working or not working on the oven? i.e. does the grill still work, is the clock OK and can you set it, or is everything totally dead?
If the elements 'look' okay, they probably are. The 'infinite control switch' is probably the problem. With out the use of a meter, it's guess work. Unless you can see a connection problem.
The grills appear to be independant of each other. Does the oven still work and the oven light come on?
Depending on your answer it could be that the Top Oven Switch has gone faulty. The Grill Regulator and the Switch work together on the top oven. To get at both you will need to take the top of the oven off.
