To find the right parts for a leaking Estella 236ECEM1 espresso coffee machine, refer to the parts diagram in the manual. Identify the leaking area on your machine and match it with the corresponding part number and description in the diagram. Once identified, use the part number to order the correct replacement part.

I’m looking to replace the portafilter gasket for my Estella Caffe 236ECEM2. I cannot find the replacement part. Is there a serial number on the gasket that will help me locate one? Or can you just put me in the right direction for one.
