This is a genuine De'Longhi part. De'Longhi has several generators with numbers very close to this one, so treat them as separate parts and check that your old unit or parts diagram shows 5513227901 exactly. No model list or wattage is on file for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns the heater in your De'Longhi has failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery shot of coffee and every burst of steam relies on the generator heating water quickly and holding it at the right temperature. When it fails, the machine may stay cold with its warm-up light flashing, pour lukewarm coffee, give little or no steam, or trip the safety switch at the switchboard as soon as it heats. Heavy limescale is a common cause, as it insulates the element and makes it overheat. Water leaking from the heater body, or no continuity across the element, points to a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine De'Longhi part 5513227901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerator (heating unit) for De'Longhi coffee machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose numbers are different parts, match the full number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWattage and voltage not listed, compare with your old unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you fit the generator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the machine and give it plenty of time to cool, as the heater holds heat long after switch off. This job means working near mains voltage parts, so it's best done by a qualified appliance technician. Note where each wire, thermostat and thermal fuse sits, and check whether yours need moving across from the old unit. Fit new seals at the water connections and descale the rest of the machine so the new heater lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy should I descale after fitting a new generator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimescale that builds up in the pump, valves and tubes can flake off and lodge in the new heater, and it also makes the heater work harder.
