(2)Is there a third possibility?

When an oven doesn't work the first thing to check is
that the timers are not set (some ovens only work when
the timers are off - the thing has to be set to MANual,
unless the timer is running; read the instruction manual).

The other thing is that a fuse may have blown. Most
stoves seem to have the fuses under the top of the
control panel at the back of the oven. The lid usually
hinges up to reveal the fuses.

If those are all ok, then check for things like switches
that are kaput.
