I believe these units had a separate chamber for the water level (early 80's for SQ). While the inner tub is filling, the chamber was filling to. Bob | ||

The water level selectors are pre set at the factories.If you take off the rear of the control panel or the top off a front loading model,the water level selector has a screw usualy tip painted in red or yellow.If you turn it counter clockwise 1/4 turn,it will increase the water level about 3 inches.

What about the top-loader washer? Is it turn right to increase and turn left to decrease the water level for these? | ||

What about the top-loaders? Is it the same, right to increase and left to decrease the water levels? | ||

Is that for top loaders also? Turn c-cw to increase and turn cw to decrease the levels. | ||

It can be done
One time I readjusted the fill control on a late 1980's GE Filter-flo that I wanted to jury-rig a mini-basket. The control, as it was, had 4 fill settings: ex-large, large, medium and small. As usual with a GE filter flo, the practical water level difference between those settings was a mere inch or two. To make the change, I opened the control panel and removed the armature on the back of the water level control knob that was made out of either graphite or some brittle plastic. The part that interacted with the pressure diaphragm control had a piece on it that looked like a four leaf clover with graduated indentation between the "leaves". With a sharp pen knife, I shaved down the deepest indentation until it allowed the button on the pressure control to be practically all the way out. This gave me an extra low water level on the "small" setting that was, in fact, the best mini-basket water level I've ever seen. This was the machine:
