The ETAM29 is a bean to cup machine. Instead of grinding the machine makes a ratcheting sound and displays a message saying fill beans container (already full.) Bought in 2019 so about a year out of guarantee. Any ideas?

No need for a service manual. There is e.g. a video (in german, but it´s very clear). Opening here, first steps. DeLonghi ETAM series upper brewing piston replacement(also in german). Replacing the grinder is rather easy. Update (30.03.2022) And this video for your model.

I have worked in the Delonghi company for over two years. I was in sales so have an idea about it. The company gives a warranty on products between one year to 5 years. It totally depends upon the distributor and model to model. Right now what is the procedure for selling and warranty have no idea about it.
