chances are the thermal cutout has tripped. There should be a reset on the thermal cutout module, the little bar just above the blue marks in the attached pic, this would be pressed towards the wall or down until it 'clicks'. Make sure the power is OFF when you do it.
If this doesn't work then it probably needs a service/new elements and you'll need a qualified spark to look at it.

Thanks and you are star with spot on. In your image, i have marked the standing plate which i tried pushing towards the wall but it wouldnt click or do anything, it just comes back to standing position.
hope i am doing it right or you would advice that i need a pro..

If the thermal cutout has tripped you should hear a click when pushing. If it hasn't then I'd be looking somewhere else.
This would require checking a few things...
1) is there electrical input to the heater, it will have two inputs, usually fused, one for the main elements the other for the booster - Check at the consumer unit and wall sockets
2) if there is electrical input to the elements and are they ok, require replacing? Testing at and the resistance across the elements would need to be done
3) if 1 and 2 test ok then certain electrical contacts could need to be cleaned.
4) this model may also incorporate a melting thermal protection circuit, if so then that will need replaced.
All these would need to be checked by a qualified electrician who knows his way around testing these types of equipment IMO.

Moving the lever must have reset it, or certainly enough to re-seat the contact. I would have expected you to hear a click but possibly not if it hadn't tripped the contacts fully open.
