DeLonghi Eletta Cappuccino Top Waste Coffee Grounds Container | Dregs Drawer / Waste Bin 7313235411 | ECAM45.760.W White Front Fascia
Restore correct waste detection and brewing performance with this DeLonghi Eletta Cappuccino Top waste coffee grounds container (dregs drawer / waste bin) designed for ECAM45.760.W espresso coffee machines.
This replacement unit includes the white front fascia panel and is commonly required when the original waste bin becomes worn, cracked, or has a broken locking tab causing tray detection failure and “insert grounds container” errors.
🔧 Product Overview
The dregs drawer (also known as waste bin or coffee grounds container) is an essential removable component in DeLonghi automatic espresso machines.
It:
- Collects used coffee pucks and waste grounds
- Activates internal tray detection sensor system
- Ensures machine can brew only when correctly inserted
When damaged:
- Machine may stop brewing
- “Insert grounds container” message appears
- Waste bin is not detected even when inserted
Replacing the full assembly restores correct operation and sensor recognition.
