5313221171 Genuine Frother External Tube for De'Longhi Coffee Machines, De'Longhi Milk Frother Spare Part

5313221171 is a genuine De'Longhi external tube for the milk frother, the outer section of the frothing assembly on De'Longhi coffee machines. Frother parts get handled, dropped and cleaned every day, so they're among the most replaced pieces on any machine. De'Longhi uses several frother designs, so check the number against your machine's parts list, or compare the old tube closely.

Poor milk froth on a De'Longhi machine

The frother uses steam from the machine to heat and aerate milk. Its tubes guide the steam and draw in air, and the fit between the parts controls how much air is mixed in. If the external tube is cracked, warped, worn or missing, the frother can spit, whistle, leak steam at the joint, or produce hot milk with little or no foam. Dried milk left in the frother also blocks the small air passages, so clean it after each use as well as replacing damaged parts.

Fitting the frother tube

Turn the machine off and let the steam wand cool completely. Pull the old tube off, then wipe the wand and the remaining frother parts clean of dried milk. Push the new external tube on until it seats fully. Before frothing, run a short burst of steam into the drip tray to clear any water, keeping your hands away from the outlet.
