Oven trips out?

My oven has started tripping out the electric. I have replaced the element as it only started doing it at temperatures of above 170'C thinking this was the fault. However it still does it, The fan is circulating the air, would it be possible that the thermostat is at fault?. This only happens on the main oven and not on the top oven which easily runs at temperatures of 240'C. Oven make Siemens HB90354GB/01

Always amazes me that people will happily guess at remedies & waste their money buying parts to replace perfectly good parts in the hope that they may just strike it lucky & fix the fault themselves rather than spending the money to pay for a service person. If you don't have the tools & ability to fault find the exact part causing the problem call in someone who does. You are dealing with something that can kill you if you do the wrong thing.
