Broken DeLonghi Espresso Machine (Brantwood Park)

DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM 3300 purchased 2015, served us well, but is now broken. Sudden clunk and cracking sound announced its death. Troubleshooting suggests it needs a new transmission assembly, based on observing that the white plastic guide rib on the left appears fractured (see photo, close-up of interior). This is DeLonghi Part AS00004230. It’s available online from various third-party sources, around $117 to $130 plus shipping. Example:

I can’t guarantee that this is the only broken part, but the burr grinder and the infuser (brew unit) work fine, and all 3 O-rings were recently replaced. If nothing else, this machine could be used for DeLonghi parts. Hoping to keep it out of the landfill!
