Inleiding
Be careful when disassembling the tubes and connections. They may be tightly attached to the machine and may take some effort to remove.

Lift the panel off or flip the device over and let the panel drop out.
At least on my unit, those screws weren't Phillips, but Torx Tamperproof T20! Shame on you, De'Longhi!
I also had the Tamperproof Torx on mine - I used a Dremel tool with a small round metal bit and just carefully plunged down on the little nub in the center that makes it tamperproof. Only need to grind it down a millimeter or so, as there isn't much torque on these screws and the torx bit needs just a little depth to grab on it good enough. If you have the tools handy it saves having to buy the tamperproof bits online.

Flip the device and remove one end of the tube from the water reservoir hole.
There are two tubes connected to the water reservoir hole. The one in the first pic is the one that goes to the water valve, which is the one that you pull through to the top. The one in the second pic is the short one from the bottom of the pump that can detached from the water hole and left in place, to be transferred later to the new pump. Detaching it from the from the filter as shown adds to the impression that this is the tube to the water valve to be pulled through to the top in the next step, which the user quickly finds is impossible, it’s too short.

Remove each clip from the valve and core using the precision angled tweezers.
My deLonghi failed by leaking from this connection (after years of operation). After a failed attempt with what I was told was an OEM o-ring, I successfully repaired it with a "Silicone O-Ring, 7mm OD, 3mm ID, 2mm Width, VMQ Seal Rings Gasket" from Amazon. (I used a dental pick to pull out the old ring.)
This is the standard o-ring, as used e.g. in Jura devices.

Pull out each LED with one quick tug.
-
Similarly, remove each set of wires from the setting tuner with one quick tug.
It’s better to keep the wires in place and remove the whole setter switch by prying off the knob, then removing the two screws exposed I was unable to remove the core your way because of the difficulty of getting past the setter switch, especially since at the same time you have to wrangle with getting the steamer wand out, even with the frother removed.
Also, your pic shows four wires to disconnect, there are actually five, and there’s no view of which of them go where—another reason for keeping them connected.

Tilt the core towards the front while lifting from the back.
Pushing to the front is impossible at first if the settings switch is still in place (see earlier comment).
Also, it’s worth mentioning that the steaming wand *will* come out with the right twisting and turning of the core. I got stuck her trying to figure out how to detach it from its hose. But the attachment is permanent. This is what led me to buy more maneuvering room by removing the settings switch with wires still attached.

-
Remove both sets of wires from the black box of the water pump.
-
Cut off the zip-tie holding all the wires together.
-
Isolate the blue wires from the rest and remove from core as necessary.

My model EC155, serial #43222 requires a Security Torx vs. a #2 Phillips to remove the 12mm screws at each corner of the bottom panel
