Timers can cause a dead oven cooker - timers on some models are literally a main on and off switch and if accidently knocked or if the power cuts outs or trips in the house the timer resets and the cooker oven are turned off and without resetting the timer the oven seems like it is faulty. The element with not get hot the lights will not come on but the timer clock is flashing making it look like everything is ok with the power supply.
Some older models can be accidently turned to automatic the oven is the n waiting for a signal from the timer to turn on , reset this back to manual to gain back control of the oven.
Check your manufacturers literature to find out how to do this, always keep your manuals as there are lots of different types and some are unnecessarily complicated to reset.
Obviously it could be a real fault or issue with the oven it could be thermal cut outs failed, a switch failure or even a fuse in the timer or other internal fuse. But its always worth checking the timer is set correctly before dismantling the oven.
