if one side of the electric element of a tefal toaster shorts can it be rep?

i have a tefal avanti deluxe toaster type 5327.16 series 315E and the elements on one side ( which toasts two slices) shorted. can it be replaced ? in fact this is the second one that has shorted and i cant bear to waste them. i can probably take them apart but can i order replacement elements and is it do-able by a reasonably competent DIY person?and who supplies such elements and is it costly? is the job worth it compared with the price of a new one?sorry too many questions

Got the same problem, one element not working. Even if you can buy an element the connections are all welded, solder is no good it would melt.
