ABOUT COMPATIBLE ELEMENTS: We stock and sell both genuine Dualit elements and none genuine compatible aftermarket elements. Unlike other suppliers we aim to be transparent with our product information, we will not claim parts are genuine if they are not. If you require genuine Dualit elements then please see the Dualit section of ebay shop for the full range of genuine spare parts. These compatible elements have been manufactured as a lower priced alternative to the genuine Dualit elements. Aftermarket compatible parts allow customers to make a personal choice between price and quality when replacing spare parts on their appliance. Please check that you are purchasing the correct heating element for your model of toaster. We suggest reading the useful information we have compiled below, it should answer any questions you may have about your toaster element.

Pro Heat style elements replace all old style elements from the past 50 years (exposed wire type) with the exception of what Dualit called Black Heat elements, the Black Heat elements are easily identified as having a rough black stone type finish, these were used for a short period many years ago and are now quite rare, if you have Black Heat elements then there are no modern day replacements. Dualit Pro Heat style elements fit the Classic, Vario and Newgen range of toasters, if you have one the new LITE model toasters (Dualit's budget range) spare parts are not available as these are classed as a none-servicable appliance. The Pro Heat style elements are slightly longer than the old style elements, the retaining bar that holds the element in place sits under the old style element but in the new style it sits in the V-shaped groove, see picture below to compare the two elements.

Pro Heat style elements are bonded with a heat resistant protective Mica coating, this coating must be left in place, do not try to peel it off. Because mica is a natural mineral it is not unusual for elements to have some brown blemishes or slight flaking on the mica coating, this is not a fault with the elements and does not effect the correct operation. Upon the first few uses with new elements they may glow slightly red, make a crackling noise and give off a slight smell, it is advisable to let the elements heat for a while so they settle in before using them with any products in the toaster.

The centre elements and end elements are different wattages across the range of toasters, this is because the end element only has to toast one side of the bread, the centre elements have to toast two sides, when installing the elements it does not matter which way they face, just make sure that the ends are at the end and centres in the centre. Genuine Dualit pro Heat elements are stamped on the metal rim to indicate which is the end and which is the centre element, compatible elements are just printed with a wattage. It is important to get the correct part for your model of toaster, a 6 slot centre element is not the same wattage as a 2 slot centre element. It is also important to make sure you don't just count the slots in your toaster, special models like the BUN toasters have a different element set than the BREAD toasters. This guide may help you identify the correct element part number for your model.
