what do you mean by "faulty" ? has the grinder stopped completely or is it trying to work but not grinding ? Update (12/07/2016): Descaling your machine every 2-3 months will help prevent alot of issues with these espresso machines. And avoid using oily beans because they tend to over extract the coffee and causes clogging of the grinder. Also avoid refrigerating beans. Moisture will cause clogging of grinder burrs. By doing teardown of your machine to remove grinder and check for scaling or clogging may resolve your issue and no need to replace. However if it seems grinder will need to be replaced I would recommend partsguru.com . They seem to have more Delonghi espresso machine replacement parts than any place I have found. Be prepared to pay $150 or more for new grinder assy. regardless of where you buy. The replacement part should come with pretty straightforward installation directions as well.
