Dualit Toaster Proheat Middle Element, Replacement Centre Element for Dualit 2 Slice/4 Slice Vario Toaster 2x2 Combi Vario, E271

Swapped it out for a burnt out one. Basic mechanical knowledge required I suppose. No issues at all.

After many years of service, one of the middle elements failed in my toaster. The replacement arrived in just a standard Amazon cardboard envelope/sleeve. Somehow it arrived in pristine condition. You can buy the Dualit spanner to make fitting easier. I didn't as I already had a mini set of metric spanners... schoolboy error, they appear to be BA/Imperial so metric didn't fit! I carefully replaced the element using long nose pliers to hold the nuts.. I have now ordered an imperial set of mini spanners for next time. I'm very happy with the part supplied.

Good value & very prompt delivery, many thanks!

When my 4-slot Dualit toaster began to malfunction I wondered if I would have to scrap it. Then I found that replacement elements were available. I thought it would not be beyond me to refit the element myself so I ordered a replacement. The element arrived quickly and neatly packaged, it even had lettering on it to indicate where it should be fitted (in the middle in my case; end elements are also available). It appeared to be a genuine Dualit part even though it did not come from Dualit. Now to repair the toaster. I made sure the toaster was unplugged from the mains and that it was not hot before I commenced. Once I had removed the cover and disconnected the wiring to the old element I was able to slide the old element out. The new element slid into guides in the toaster so was simple to locate. The wiring took less than 5 minutes to refit and it was time to replace the cover - that took longer than the element. As the cover was springy I found it quite difficult to hold in position whilst the screws were fitted. There seemed to be a knack to it. Once that was done I tried the toaster on some bread from the freezer and it coped beautifully. So, for a few pounds I have a fully functioning toaster again. I do feel that it is not a job for anybody - playing with electrical items is for professionals. Incidentally, it seemed that the old element had been damaged when a pitta bread became jammed in the slot and needed to be levered out. It was nothing to do with the quality of the toaster.

Dualit toasters have been previously described as Land Rovers of the toaster world. They don’t leak oil but are amenable to amateur repair when they go wrong - much better than sending failed appliances to landfill. These elements are easy to replace and there are a number of YouTube videos to keep inexperienced repairers on track. Only problem I have encountered is fracture of the element card in transit.

Perfect fit for my very old vario 3 slot. Easy to install and great delivery came as informed. Well done.

An over 20 year old toaster and now you know why you pay do much for them. One element failed and this was the cure. Easy to install and while doing it I can see the build quality of the toaster itself. Arrived well packed. All working fine now. A low cost cure.

This was a simple repair job, as the second element had failed - after about 20 years! Back to 100% operation now though! Should have bought the spanner to go with it - the retaining nuts are an awkward size - I think 5.5mm. I managed to get it done, but that spanner would have made it even easier. A good way to test the toaster is to turn it on and look at the elements in the dark - you will see which ones are glowing and which ones arent, easier than using a test meter. Take care and you'll be toasting again in no time!

Schnelle Lieferung, sicher verpackt, macht was es soll.

Fits perfectly my 30 years old Dualit toaster :)

top kwaliteit aan een top prijs.

Après la panne des résistances internes de mon grille pain dualit j’ai changé les résistances. Démontage et montage très simple avec un tutoriel sur YouTube. Il est à nouveau comme neuf et toujours aussi beau.

materiale idoneo .ma non ho potuto sostituirlo al tostapane perchè non di dimensioni da adattare causa forma di collegamento e spazio
