Key Features

Compatible Models
This 140mm wide inner element fits Dualit Thick & Thin toaster models including:
- 4-Slice Thick & Thin Models (4T/THIN series)
- 2-Slice Thick & Thin Models with 140mm wide slots
- Combi Thick & Thin Models
- Vario Toaster Models with wide slot configuration
Important: This is the INNER element (fits between the bread slots). Check your model number on the rating plate underneath your toaster to confirm compatibility.
Technical Specifications
- Voltage: 110V (Export/Commercial – verify your toaster voltage before ordering!)
- Width: 140mm (extra-wide for thick bread)
- Element Type: Inner heating element
- Material: High-grade heating wire with ceramic insulators
- Expected Lifespan: 5-10 years with regular domestic use
⚠️ CRITICAL: Voltage Warning
This is a 110V element for NON-UK markets and commercial applications.
- ✅ Use this if: Your toaster’s rating plate shows 110V or 120V
- ❌ DO NOT use if: Your toaster shows 230V or 240V (standard UK)
Using the wrong voltage element will damage your toaster and is dangerous! Always check your toaster’s rating plate before ordering.
If you have a UK 230V toaster, you need our 230V 140mm Wide Element instead.
Why the 140mm Wide Element?
Standard Dualit toasters have narrower slots perfect for regular sliced bread. The Thick & Thin range features 140mm wide slots specifically designed for:
- Thick-cut artisan bread (sourdough, farmhouse loaves)
- Bagels and English muffins (wider diameter)
- Specialty breads (ciabatta, focaccia, brioche)
- Bakery items (croissants, pastries when using sandwich cage)
- Homemade bread (irregular sizes)
This wider element ensures even heating across the full 140mm width, preventing cold spots and ensuring perfect browning.

Why Choose Genuine Dualit Parts?
Guaranteed Quality
Original Dualit elements are manufactured to exact specifications using high-grade materials. They’re tested to the same standards as the elements in brand new toasters.
Perfect Fit Every Time
Aftermarket elements may claim compatibility, but often have:
- Wrong wire gauge (affects heating performance)
- Incorrect dimensions (poor fit, potential safety issues)
- Inferior materials (fail within months, not years)
Genuine Dualit parts are precision-engineered for your exact model.
Long-Lasting Performance
While a cheaper alternative might save £5-10 initially, genuine Dualit elements typically last 3-5 times longer. Better value in the long run.
Safety Assurance
All genuine Dualit elements meet strict UK and international electrical safety standards. Using non-genuine parts may void your toaster’s safety certification.
The Sustainable Choice
Repair, Don’t Replace!
- 💷 Cost Effective: A £15-20 element vs. £150-250+ for a new Thick & Thin toaster
- 🌍 Environmentally Responsible: Prevent perfectly good toasters going to landfill
- ♻️ Dualit’s Philosophy: Built to last generations, designed for easy repair
- 🔧 Preserve Quality: Your Dualit’s build quality can’t be matched by modern budget toasters
Many Dualit toasters from the 1980s and 1990s are still in daily use thanks to the availability of genuine replacement parts. Your toaster can serve you for decades with proper maintenance.
Troubleshooting: Do You Need This Part?
Symptoms of a faulty inner element:
- ✗ Bread toasts on outside edges but not in the middle
- ✗ Uneven browning (one side darker than the other)
- ✗ Toaster takes much longer to brown bread
- ✗ No heat from centre of slot
If your toaster won’t heat at all: This could be inner elements, end elements, or both. For 140mm wide toasters, you typically have:
- 2-slice model: 1 inner element + 2 end elements
- 4-slice model: 3 inner elements + 2 end elements
Testing which element has failed:
- Toast single slices in each slot
- Note which areas don’t brown
- Inner elements heat the center between slots
- End elements heat the outer edges

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I need the 140mm wide element or standard width?
A: Measure the slot width, or check your model number. Thick & Thin ranges use 140mm. Classic/standard toasters use narrower elements. If unsure, contact us with your model number.
Q: My toaster is 110V but in the UK – can I use this?
A: Only if you have a 110V power supply (step-down transformer). Most UK toasters are 230V. This element is for export models or commercial kitchens with 110V supply.
Q: Can I replace just one element if only one has failed?
A: Yes, but if your toaster is 5+ years old and one element has failed, others may follow soon. Consider replacing all elements together to avoid future repairs.
Q: How long will this element last?
A: With normal domestic use (2-3 times daily), genuine Dualit elements typically last 5-10 years. Commercial/heavy use may reduce this to 2-5 years.
Q: Is this element suitable for both inner positions in a 4-slice toaster?
A: Yes, all inner positions use the same element in Thick & Thin models. You’ll need 3 inner elements for a complete 4-slice replacement.
