It took me many hours of fiddling during lockdown to figure this out, and many more to get the retailer to arrange a courier pick up. Their repair techs today confirmed that it was the shoe and they would be replacing it.
Looking back, I realised I should have been tipped off by the fact that I couldn't find anyone else online who had a similar problem. A Google search throws up this thread but nothing else.
Thanks again to those of you who tried to assist.
