You can work around it by hand-holding the water level control at a mid-position between any two settings, or holding it on Reset if it's variable, which should trigger the machine to start filling again. Release the control when the water fills to a sufficiently higher level. You'll have to do it again for the rinse. The water level control itself may have an adjustment screw to permanently recalibrate it .... but keep in mind if this a new machine any tampering would void the warranty ... AND recalibrating the control for a higher "high" level will ALSO increase the LOW level. If you still want to have a reasonable low level, use the manual work-around described above. | ||

Are you kidding? Does this mean all new washers are going to fill like this? | ||

That always drove me crazy with the direct drive Whirlpool/Kenmores....they only filled halfway up the auger agitator. To look in the machine one thinks you are getting a huge capacity tub when in reality only 3/4 of it is usable...those wavy fins are just for show...they never touch water or have any purpose.

Solidtubman Sounds like I have less laundry than you. For me its only an issue on king size sheet day. If you have a large family you may want to consider one of the frontloaders. Im thinking we will all be considering them soon whether we want one or not. | ||

I think that Frigilux used a rubber band to hold the water level control at "reset" so he wouldn't have to stand there and hold the control. He posted a photo of it a month ago or so..... | ||

best of luck Solidtubman The SQ Sounds like a good idea, my frigidaire purchase was right after returning to our home after hurricane katrina, our amana sprung a leak, the center seal issue, and i just could not justify spending a lot of money on a washer at that time. | ||
