    The tablet dispenser doesn’t open automatically during a wash. With the door open I can flick the blue catch and the dispenser door will spring open.

    Thoughts on what the problem might be, and of a fix, would be welcome.

    Several possibilities unfortunately. Faulty dispenser, faulty control module, wiring harness breaks etc.

    Unplug and remove the outer door panel. From there you can carefully examine the wiring harness for breaks, look near the places the wire bends. You will need suitable test equipment to test the dispenser drawer solenoid.
