Micro switch for waste container detection for Delonghi coffee machines

The waste container detection microswitch is a safety component located in the lower section of DeLonghi fully automatic coffee machines. Its function is to register whether the coffee grounds container is correctly inserted into the machine. Without a functioning microswitch, the coffee machine cannot detect the presence of the container and will refuse to prepare coffee. This part with part number 5132105400 is an original DeLonghi spare part designed for direct replacement of a failed switch.
