A failed element is the most likely cause, but pretty bad if used once. Check the fuse in the plug, check the power cord. Check around the back for an overheat reset button.
There is a thermal cutoff near the heating element just like all appliances that make heat. It's supposed to stop a house fire but makes these appliance companies a lot of money.
All appliances that produce heat have a thermal cutoff inside to prevent a fire or meltdown. It's a shame they make them so fragile that it may ruin your special occasion. If you cross the wires on the sensor it may run forever but might be a fire hazzard.
This button should be a high limit switch. If it is a small red button mounted to a 2" x 2" or so device. You most likley have an issue with the thermostat letting it over heat. The best thing to do would be to replace both the thermostat and the high limit for safety reasons.
Hi - If you have your manual, check out page 16 for troubleshooting. Make sure the magnetic cord is properly fastened, and the removable control panel with the heating element is properly attached to the outer housing, because it has a safety microswitch which will not allow the control panel to work unless it is properly seated into both grooves in the housing.
