The milk suction tube (part number 5313279631) is a food-safe silicone suction pipe located in the milk container lid. It draws milk from the container into the frothing system. If your DeLonghi Eletta Explore has stopped picking up milk, produces poor froth, or milk is leaking around the container lid, the most common cause is a worn, cracked, or deformed suction tube. This part is the correct replacement.
Important — verify your model: before ordering, confirm the exact model designation and version of your coffee machine (for example, the EX:4 code and ECAM 45x.xx series code) on the rating label. The label is typically located on the underside of the appliance or behind the water tank. This ensures the part fits correctly.
