Yesterday I switched on the main oven to warm up for ten minutes, went

switch is thrown. Popped it back up and all the sockets are back
working. But since then the main oven doesn't get even warm. It's not
working. The *fan* still works, as does the light, and the top
oven/grill is also unaffected.
Element?
How much if I get the Hotpoint service agent to fix it? (estimate)
The DY46X is approximately 4 years old.
(A new unit is "only" around £350.)

Certainly sounds like the lelement and this is uk.d-i-y...
New element £21.99 from he

also, compatible non-Hotpoint version at £7.50
Don't know how much Hotpoint would charge to fit...
Thanks.
How much do you think an electrician would charge?
