- These toasters are hand made and each element can easily be swapped out and replaced.
The repair itself is reasonably simple to carry out, but if you're at all unsure about doing the repair its probably best to send your toaster back to Dualit for it to be repaired for you, and don't forget, PAT testing is particularly important if the toaster is in a work place.
For the elements, you're best contacting Dualit as they're twice the price on Amazon. You can order repairs online at www.dualit.com... or over the phone at 01293 652500.
You can also send your toaster back to Dualit for repair, at the following address:
Repairs Department, Dualit Ltd, County Oak Way, Crawley, West Sussex RH11 7ST
Maybe The Real Treasure in fixing the toaster Was the Friends We Made Along the Way :-p ! Great vid Howie ! we use a Dualit toaster in the pub and they are rock solid.
Right on Dan! ... I love this toaster for sooo many reasons, but primarily my happy memories of my Grandfather :-)
This toaster is so unnecessarily massive... I love it! *lol*
It really is! ... When I threw out our modern toaster and fitted this, my wife asked WHY? ... I said Because!
@@DubiousEngineering Because!...awesomeness does not need an explanation! *lol*
I'd like to think that one of the last things your Grandad did was flip that switch. And now he looking down on you saying "Gotcha!"
I wouldn’t put it past him! ... He used to have fishing line holding a rubber spider in light future above the meal table... dinner would be served and the spider would drop down and scare everyone half to death!
We've all been there buddy, but it still made an awesome video, I love seeing how this older stuff was built, they certainly don't make them like they used to
You hit the nail on the head! - It's a throw away world today... if it breaks, chuck it out!
@@DubiousEngineering You'd think they'd make things easy to repair with spares available. I remember when there used to be little independent repair shops everywhere that wasn't just for mobile phones and games consoles
Yeah!! It’s a throw away world now! My mate mark used to work in a tv repair shop!
They still make them. They are currently available, but rather expensive!
And there was me hoping a toaster teardown was taking apart a Cylon. Teach me to read the title fully ;)
Hahahaha... I loved those shows - the original and the new :-)
@@DubiousEngineering
Original always ;)
Stings favourite toaster
Lol! Am in the only one who thinks that's genius 🤣
hahaha... I don’t get it... Doh! ... someone explain! send a message in a bottle :-)
@@DubiousEngineering listen to English man in new York
@@DubiousEngineering and I bet you ate that bit of toast 😂
new youk! ... did I ever tell you that I lived in America
What a great toaster! Nice video Mate.... off to look at toasters on the internet now
Haha - thats the thing... I see people have something nice that appeals to me... and I do exactly the same :-)
@@DubiousEngineering I've seen how much they are..... now I'm hoping to find one at the next carboot 👍 😁
I look forward to seeing a future carboot haul video from Sparky :-)
@@DubiousEngineering There will be..... I've got about three more to do to cover the end of last summer, I don't know when things will get back to normal here but when they do I will be out hunting 👍 😁
I did not know about the switch and you've just saved me a job! Thank you 😂
Hahaha... epic!! :-) happy to have helped!
On toast......I'm pretty easy, jam, marmalade, peanut or my favourite, marmite! A nice layer of proper butter on thick bread, and a generous helping of marmite 😋
Arrrrgh!! - You love it or hate it... So sorry! - Marmite just doesnt do it for me!! :-) You still get a big thumbs up and a love heart anyway :-)
@@DubiousEngineering nice one!
Honey and butter on my toast Howard! ❤️😊
Ooooh - I do love a thin smear of honey and some proper salted butter :-)
@@DubiousEngineering lovely Yum!
Nice fix
I love toast! you binge watching my crappy videos :-)
I ❤❤❤❤ DLT .. mine is 34yrs …
I'm still using my grandfather's Dualit almost every day!
Oh boy, tears of laughter here. Wish I had watched your video *before* replacing the element to still not have it toast on one side. I just turned the dial (on mine) from I to II and now we’re golden. Seems like a fairly major UX flaw on a device with so few buttons and dials!
Brilliant 👏 hahahah... we all live and learn!!
@@DubiousEngineering Dualit are all now merely "assembled" in the UK using a combination of foreign and UK parts. The end caps on their NewGen are actually made in China as are the electrics and switchgear. Sad.(((( As for Rowlett Rutland? They have completely shut down and went bust.
A wee bit of honey. Here's a toast to you my friend. You are the toast of the town.
You Sir! - Are a superstar! - I'll raise a glass and think of you later... It's almost the weekend!!
What about redesigning the toaster to have steel plates and induction coils in close proximity driven off a high frequency generator operating at 150 KHZ so when the unit is running the coils are energised causing the steel plates to heat up and radiate heat that will toast the bread.
hahah... an induction toaster! ... I was tempted to put Nixie tubes in it, but was scared I’d get another pounding for wrecking a serviceable piece of kit :-)
How's the home brewing coming along?
Too blessed cold in the house to bother trying to brew at the moment... I need to wait until late spring - but trust me, I'll be on it!! :)
Great vid mate lol
Flora lol
half the fat and easy to spread :-)
Hmmm I like real butter not plastic on my toast. Do we need to answer the stupid or what question? Love the Flora jokes despite Flora not LOL
I love real butter too... I should switch over... it’s not like I live a healthy lifestyle ..hahah! spring is coming mate :-)
Unfortunately our Dualit Lite isn't repairable so we've upgraded to a classic version
Aha!! Modern stuff eh?!?
I have a DLT4pa which is the 4 slice version. This toaster was purchased only two years ago and has worked perfectly until last week. The problem is that the element takes ages to get red and when it does, it's not that bright. 2 slices of bread have always toasted perfectly when set to 5 but now has to be set on 7+ to get the same result. It's as though the element is not getting full voltage. I've spoken to Dualit and they say this model cannot be repaired, which is very disappointing. If you've any clue as to what the fix would be, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks. Stuart
Hi stu ... I’d probably need to take a look at it... if your in the Uk, we could make that happen!!
@@DubiousEngineering Thanks for responding. I am in Leeds West Yorkshire. If you’re local we could meet up. Let me know. Stuart.
We’re a few hours away... I’m in Gloucestershire..: does the postal system work?!?
@@DubiousEngineering Lovely part of the country. I've spoken again to Dualit in the hope that they might exchange it even though it's 2.5 years old but regret not. I forgot to mention that the failure happened after we had a loss of power in our area on Friday July 2 at midnight. The power was off for about 4 hours. It was Saturday morning that the toaster failed to toast the bread at the usual setting. So I suppose it's possible a power surge could have damaged the circuit board. It is still toasting at setting 7 so I'll just live with it for now. Coincidentally our Neff microwave has faulted in a similar way too. Thanks for your interest. Regards Stuart.
Update on my malfunctioning Dualit toaster. After my last post 3 weeks ago the toaster got worse. Had to toast with it set to 8 and then some more when it popped up. However, yesterday it popped up presenting totally burnt bread, so I toasted another 2 slices at setting 5 which is where it always worked perfectly and when it popped up the bread was perfectly toasted. It's a complete mystery to me. Must be aliens! Regards Stuart.
What ! No encrypted message revealed on the toast , a clue to find the hidden treasure. Spray the bread with lemon juice before toasting. Or maybe the clue was the brown bread .
He is brown bread now... :-) Bless him! - That was definitely a piece of historic toast... I should have had it carbon dated!!
Another entertaining & interesting video - Thanks
I hope you put that piece of toast back in the toaster before reassembling it? That could have been the last piece your Grandfather toasted before leaving the toaster to you in his will!
For in-depth look at another classic toaster that's is also probably better than most of the modern ones check out this video...

I shall head there now! ... that was brown bread ... and so is my lovable grandfather :-)
