Re: Zanussi dx6453 won’t release tablet

Many thanks to you both for your thoughts!
The flap does open – but on these occasions when I have snuck up on it – you can hear it opening as I pull down the door – I don’t think it’s coincidence! Sometimes it works OK, other times, dirty plates. There seems no real pattern. We have wondered whether it catches on the plates- this machine does not like big plates, or cutlery that sticks up out of the basket and you have to be very careful about this. When we have been careful that the top rotor arm can revolve we have occasionally found that the bottom one is catching on the bottom of the plates that are protruding slightly (because of the curve) through the bottom bars.We no longer put in the 10 inch plates.
What causes the dispenser to open – is it the heat of the water or a time thing?
I wish I could see inside to see where it has got to in the cycle!
If I open the door does it start the whole thing again??
If I use the quick wash does it do it without a rinse so I could throw the tablet on the bottom of the door like I used to do with the first one we owned?

Thanks again.
