Un-toaster

I have a toaster with a problem. It has a large self-adjusting width single slot with an electric motor to lower and raise the bread/waffle, whatever. The heating elements consist of 2 long white ceramic cylinders, one on each side. The problem is that these only glow, sort of reddish orange, over a small part at both ends. Consequently the bread toasts more at either end and most of it is only slightly toasted. Increasing the darkness control only makes the bread burn at the ends and still slightly golden over most of it. What is wrong with this toaster?

Have you measured the resistance of the heating elements to see if they are defective?
